RE-UNION OF EX-ACTIVE SERVICE MEN.

OLD MEMORIES, REVIVED.

The anxious days of war were re called to memory last night when ax-active Service Men gathered in large numbers at the Hong Kong Hotel to attend the annual Armis. tice dinner of the E.A.S.M.A.

Captain T. T. Laurenson, D.S.C., presided and during the course of the dinner proposed the toast of The King, Mr. W. J. E. Mackenzie. then proposed "The Silent Toast" during which the gathering stood with bowed heads as the poignant notes of The Last Post" were nounded by a bugler of the Somerset Light Infantry,

War songs were sung, war stories were told and the spirit of com radeship was predominant through. out. The tablo decorations of illuminated blood-red poppies lent à distinctive atmosphere to the pro ceedings.

Mr. II. J. Pearce proposed the toast of "The Services." In doing so he said: We alt have an affee- tion for the period wo actually apent in the Services. Situated na we are in Hong Kong, the Services are always with us, which gives us of course, familiarity. We have all heard that Familiarity breeds contempt. In the case of the Ser. vices here, I am sure it is not so. Familiarity with them brings only
