GALLIPOLI SOUVENIR
RIVER CLYDE’S BELL EXHIBITED IN CHURCH By Cable. — Pres 3 Association. —Copyright Reed. 2.15 p.m. LONDON, Monday. At the Anzac Day service in Holy Trinity Church, Altham, a modest little man named Smith entered the building carrying a fish-basket, from which he removed a ship’s bell, which he placed at the foot of the altar in a side chapel for inspection by the congregation. The bell formerly belonged to the ship River Clyde, which carried troops for the landing at Gallipoli. Smith was then coxswain of the River Clyde, but he has now left the sea and is steward at the British Legion Club. He has been offered £750 for the River Clyde’s bell, but refuses to sell at any price.—-A. and N.Z.
