At the head of the white stone column is an insertion of polished granite, and the peak is symbolic of fight-a great gi't eagle with out stretched wings, whose making has st some four tons of branze. On a globe. beneath are encircled the signs of the Zodiae. It is the proluer of two dis nguished artists. Sir Reginald Blomfeld, RA. and Mr. Reid Dick, A.R.A.
Long before the appointed hour that part of the embankment which was con- cerned in the day's event held a larg crowd, sympathetic, expectant, and pat- ient. A detachment. of the Royal Air Force had been drawn up on three sides. of a hollow squate with fixed bayonets and drums and fifes. Five minutes after noin the Duke of York, who is president of the memoriat tund. arrived. He was in the uniform of the Air Force, and w received with cheers and the opening bars of the National Anthem. "In attendance was Commander Louis Creig. Ten minutes later the Prince of Wales, in morning attire, was greeted with prolonged ap plause and the renewed playing of the band. After the interchange of a lew greetings his Royal Highness proceeded to inspect the guard of honour, and this neccmplished, he had presented to him the architect, the sculptor, a director of Messrs Dove's, Ltd.

The Prince of Wales said: This monu- ment, erected by the Royal Air Force Memorial Funil, which I am about to un- veil, will stand as a lasting tribute in the invart of this great city to the memory of all ranks of the Royal Naval Air Service, the Royal Flying Corps, and the Royal Air Force, and other Air Forces from all parts of the Empire, who, brav- ing hitherto unknown dangers in a new element of warfare, died to give us the final victory. Their exploits, and an- daunted courage have established a new tradition for the new Servies which our aloud Armies of the future, whether in ne of war, will, I feel sure, follow with devoted pride, The nation, on whose behalf I am asked to accept this raqanorial, and the public, to whom I am to dedicate it, will ever faithfully remem- ber the gallant lives and the great deeds it columemorates.
The Rev. H. D. J. Viener (Chuplxia-in- Chief of the Royal Air Force) then de- | dicated the memorial and offered prayer;
