Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Peace Year in the City, 1918-1919: An Account of the Outstanding Events in the City of London During Peace Year, in the Mayoralty of the Rt. Hon. Sir Horace Brooks Marshall Following the Great War of 1914-1918 The civic year that opened on November 9th, 1918, was marked by a number of memorable events which give it a unique place in the annals of the City of London. The abdication of William of Hohenzollern was announced on Lord Mayor´s Day, and there followed the Armistice and all the crowded activity of the period in which the Great War was brought to an end. During the years of that mortal conflict the City of London, as was said by a distinguished Freeman, added cubits to its stature. In Peace Year its increased eminence among our national institutions was again and again recognised in the sight of all the world. It was thought that some record of the events of those twelve months would be welcomed by those who witnessed or played a part in them, and be not without value for future generations of London citizens. My only excuse for attempting the task of the chronicler is the keen interest that I have taken for many years in the history and traditions of the City. To describe the events which have added so much to its national and international standing has been the most grateful of labours.
