WISLEY WAR MEMORIAL. 
Many members of the Society's staff both at Vincent Square and at 
Wisley served their King and Country in the Navy, Army, and Air 
Force during the great war. Some came unscathed through it all, 
others were taken prisoners, some were wounded, and twenty of our 
students fell on the Western Front, in Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, and 
Palestine.

in its need, and especially of those who gave their lives, the Council 
has placed a memorial on the wall of the beautiful Hall of the Labora- 
tory at Wisley. 
The memorial was unveiled on June 3, 1921. The ceremony, 
which followed a short service conducted by the Rev. W. Wilks, late 
Secretary of the Society, and the Rev. C. A. Hamilton, Rector of 
Wisley, was performed by the President, the Rt. Hon. Lord Lambourne, 
in the presence of members of the Council, the late President, F.M. 
Lord Grenfell, many Fellows, relatives of the old students, the 
staff at Wisley, and others. Lord Lambourne's address will long be 
remembered by all who heard it, not only for its eloquence, but for 
the hopeful note it sounded. 
The memorial, which was designed by Sir Robert Lorrimer, is of 
Hoptonwood stone, enclosing a bronze panel bearing in bold lettering 
the names of those who were killed. . The upper part is occupied by 
the crest of the Society in high relief, having on each side a shield, one 
carrying the three lions of England, the other the Passjajrfsess^ ...
