HC Deb 15 November 1926 vol 199 cc1534-5
45. Colonel Sir ARTHUR HOLBROOK

asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the fact that no national memorial has yet been erected to perpetuate the memory of the Earl of Ypres, who commanded the British Army during the first period of the Great War; and whether it is proposed to erect such a memorial?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

While I fully appreciate the great services rendered by the Earl of Ypres, I do not think that this is a matter in which the Government should take action.
