| Performance Notes | "It was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who, as the Rev George Vale Owen mentioned in his address, started the Spiritualist Armistice Day meetings by a service at the Queens Hall, after which the work was taken over by the Marylebone Spiritualist Association. And his absence was felt at the great meeting held on
Sunday morning, although the hall was well filled, on every part, and the occasion seemed more impressive than ever, for, on this tenth anniversary, the national interest in the commemoration, growing with the years, had become deeper and wider than on any occasion in the past." (Light, 17 November 1928)
Hannen Swaffer address:
"Ten years ago, at this very hour, there came to an end four years of terrible war,' he said. 'The world has waited for the fulfilment of promises that were made at that time - promises that this war would end war, that ours would be a land fit for heroes to live in. Those promises have not been kept. Those who made the promises did not themselves believe them.'"
