| Performance Notes | The day before this event a Toc H service of thanksgiving and rededication had been held at St. Paul's Cathedral.
"Some of the surviving men who visited Talbot House in 1915-18 will accompany the Founder-Padre to Flanders, and will return to London in time for the Birthday Festival Guest-Night to be held at the Royal Albert Hall on the Saturday evening, when a message will be broadcast to all oversea members of Toc H and the final ceremony in the World Chain of Light will be held.
During the 24 hours from 9pm on Friday, December 5, each branch and group, at home and overseas, will light their lamp or rush-light in turn and will hold the Toc H Ceremony of Light as a symbolic act of remembrance of the 'Elder Brethren' and as a pledge of rededication to their aims of service and world-wide fellowship. The light will travel westward to theAmerican Continent, thence to New Zealand, Australia, India, Africa, and so back to Europe, the World Chain being completed in the British Isles at many centres and finally at the Albert Hall in London."
