The excellent & rare journal of the Ypres League includes a very wide range of otherwise unpublished personal reminiscences of service in the Salient during the war, regimental records & notes, also a great deal of material on post-armistice reunions, memorial unveilings, the activities of the British community in Ypres (the English Church, School, &c.), news from branches of the League, & more. The claimed circulation of this quarterly journal was 5000, but it is remarkably scarce for that, doubtless due to its ephemeral nature. Orig. paper wraps., few issues worn, mostly VG.
