Great Memorial i'm Bronx
Will Be Erected May 80
Legionnaires To Place Plaques
on Grand Concourse Trees
for Fallen Comrades

The most imposing parade ever held
in the Bronx will be that of Memorial
Day, when the American Legion, in
full strength and uniformed, will join
with the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
the G. A. R. and the United Spanish
War Veterans in paying honors to
those of their comrades who have died.
The procession along the Grand Con-
course will be marked by solemn
ceremony, when bronze memorial
plaques bearing the names of young
men of the Bronx who gave their lives
in the World War will be placed on
trees along that boulevard. This will
be the largest memorial in existence
SO far as can be learned. Each OF the
more than 900 war victims who called
the Bronx home will be memorialized
in a plague, which will give his name
and his military unit.
When the county committee meets
next Thursday night at the County
Court House, 161st Street and Third
Avenue, the line of march will be de-
cided upon and the marshals named
A feature of the Bronx memorial is
that the Legion refused to go to civil
ians for contributions, electing rather
to defray the cost of the plaques

situation of soldiers themselves erect
ing to their comrades lasting memo
