despatch of the 12th August, 1936, regarding the
King George's Memorial Fields, I have the honour to
furnish you with the following information regarding the
King George's Fields Foundation which may be of interest
to Colonial Governments.

established to give effect to the decision to provide
recreational playing-fields as part of the National
Memorial to King George V. Under the terms of its
Trust Deed the Foundation's financial powers are limited
to the United Kingdom, within which area its operations
include the establishment of memorial playing-fields
styled "King George's Fields"; architectural advice on
designs for memorial entrances for such fields; and the
supply to each approved "King George's'Field", for
incorporation in the entrance design, of a pair of
Heraldic Panels portraying the Royal Lion with the
inscription "George V 1910-1936", and the Unicorn with
the inscription "King George's Field".
3. Although financial assistance cannot be given
by the Foundation to schemes outside the United Kingdom,
His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to
