| Performance Notes | "This year Toc H is holding 'birthday' celebrations, which take the form of two ceremonies at the Albert Hall, and services at Westminster Abbey and other London churches...The performances will take the form of a musical masque consisting of a series of spectacles illustrating the four points of the Toc H compass...Hundreds of performers, including a massed choir and 80 dancers, will take part, and setting and scenic arrangements are being superintended by Mr Fairbairn. Mlle Adeline Genee will superintend the arrangements for the ballet. The Burgomaster of Ypres will appear at the performances with a bodyguard of Belgium soldiers representing different grades of the Belgian Army. He is bringing with him the Lamp of Maintenance which was presented to Ypres some years ago and which is now to be formally dedicated in Westminster Abbey. The Prince of Wales's place ths year will be taken by Field-Marshal Lord Plumer."
