MEMORIAL FUND AT the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Fund on July 26 the hon. treasurer made a general statement as to the financial position of the Fund liegarding the War Memorial it was reported the bronze eagle and memorial generally would be ready for unveiling about the end of this year. At the request of the Vicar of St. Mark's Church, South Farnborough, a memorial tablet is to be fixed in a Memorial Chapel of that Church, in view of the fact that the R.FC. came into being at South Farnborough on May 13, 1912. It is hoped that this tablet will be fixed and ready for unveiling about the end of September next, and is of a very short and simple design. The Committee, while in no wise prepared to finance memorial tablets in other parts of the country, feel that as South Farnborough was the birthplace of the R.F.C. it was appropriate that a small sum should be granted for this purpose. Air Vice-Marshal Sir Geoffrey Salmond, K.C.M.G., has been elected by the Vanbrugh Castle School Sub-Committee as Chairman in succession to his brother, Sir John Salmond ; and Mr. W. S. Field was at the same time elected Deputy Chairman of that Sub-Committee. It was reported to the Executive Committee that, in Accordance with L.C.C. requirements, a fire staircase will shortly be completed at the Vanbrugh Castle School, on which the Committee are prepared to entertain a further 10 boys, making 25 in all, and, with a view to securing the boys at an early age, the minimum age for admission has been reduced from 7 to 5 years. Air Vice-Marshal J. F. A. Higgins, C.B., A.O.C., Inland Area, R.A.F., was unanimously elected a member of the Executive Committee. The Hon. Treasurer, Sir Charles McLeod, reported to the meeting the steps he had taken in consultation with Major A. M. A. Struben towards the creation of the " Struben Trust," which concerns a sum of money generously handed over to the trustees of this Fund by Major Struben, with a view to providing an annual income for the education of the children of officers who have served with No. 25 Squadron, R.A.F., and who meet with death or injury whilst engaged in flying with that squadron. The " Trust " is in memory of Major Struben's son, the late Flying Officer H. M. Struben, who met his death as the result of a flying accident. The trustees of the Fund, and the Executive Committee, have very gladly taken over the administration of this " Trust." The Secretary, Lieut.-Col. W. E. S. Burcb, drew the attention of the Committee to the R.A.F. Cricket Week, to be held between September 20 and 26 next at the Saffron's Cricket Ground, Eastbourne, under the patronage of H.R.H. The Duke of York. The Committee of this Cricket Week have very kindly written to say that the R.A.F. Memorial Fund shall benefit from any profits that may be made.
