They are those of Messrs. S. S. Day (killed), M. McRae, C. H. Hannaford, H. R. Paynter, and H. R. Farnell, and Messrs. H. W. Marshall, S. T. 0. Pentelow and H. Greenwood, who were rejected as medically unfit.

WAR AND THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. The portrait of the late Mr. S. S. Day, suitably inscribed, now hangs in the Library. A roll of honour, designed by the artist and art supervisor (Mr. Gustave A. Barnes), and moulded and cast by the formator (Mr. R. Limb) has been prepared. The plaster cast, bronzed, is to be used until after the war, when a replica in bronze for permanent display will be substituted.
