In outlining the objects of the meeting, His Excellency the G.0.0. first thanked those present for the cordial way in which they had ao.: cepted his invitation and apologis- ed for the unavoidable postpone- ment of the orginally convened meoting. He went on to say that ever since he had been in Hongkong [hn had been convinced that thero was an opening and a need for an organisation of all those Britons who served in the war and who are now in civil life. From the point of view of the regular soldier they missed such da association very much. They all had commu memories, they had remembrances of comrades who had fallen and they had recollections of streau-! ous days, and they all had glorious memories of successea and victory. It would be a pity if they allowed those memories to grow dim, especially in a fut away part of the world like Hong- kong where they were อ com- paratively small body of Brilons, confronting circumstances aud possibilities which no man could foretell and which, in these days, had a knack of coming quickly and when least expected. One of his difficulties at the time was that there were several organisations of ex-service already in the field) an be did not hudy which of those organisations had branches of members in Hongkong and China. Fortunately he had received about three weeks ago a letter from London telling him about the Uaity movement which was under the personal direction of Field Marshal Lord Douglas Faig.
