WAR GRAVES
SIR G. RYRIE’S REFLECTIONS. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, November 8. .“If the Empire requires courage to face the difficulties through which it is passing, I suggest a visit to war graves which perpetuate the Empire’s unity,” said Sir G. Ryrie (Australian High Commissioner), when broadcasting at London on bis’ recent tour of war graves. “Even if the victory has not given all that avo had hoped, we have gained and built on the sacrifices of our bravest and best. This was the first, model of imperial unity in a permanent free partnership that the Avar has been introducing.’’ Sir G. Ryrie said that if they wanted- to realise the number of men of the Empire who died for fieedbrrfj they must imagine them on Armistice Day marching past the Cenotaph in fours, when it would take eighty-four hours for them to pass.
