text: AN APPEAL BY THE RT. HON. THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON
MANSION HOUSE, E.C.
Young men of famous London Town!
Your comrades have gone forth in their thousands. Their names shine bright on the Roll of Fame. Ypres, Neuve Chapelle and Loos tell the
tale of their imperishable glory.
The names of many, also, are on that other roll, the Roll of Honour.
We must fill the gaps. We must keep the ranks full. It is the business of every Citizen of London to help.
I have opened our Mansion House and will be there every day to welcome those who offer themselves to the service of King and Country.
Come and do your duty. You will be received as worthy sons of our ancient City.
Your comrades from the trenches call you. Hear and obey their call!
C. C. WAKEFIELD, Lord Mayor
January, 1916
