Thirteenth Hussars Old Comrades Association.

This Association—originally called the “Old Comrades Dinner Club”—was formed in accordance with a suggestion made at a meeting held at the Office of the 13th Hussars Association, on Saturday, 1st March 1913, under the Presidency of Lieut.-Colonel E. A. Wiggin, when a large number of past and present officers of the Regiment were present, also a good number of late N.C.O.’s and men. A committee was formed, and it was decided to start a Club of Old Comrades of the Regiment under the title of “The Old Comrades Dinner Club,” for the purpose of holding an Annual Dinner.

The Annual Dinner is held on the fourth Saturday in October.

All retired officers, non-commissioned officers, and men whose addresses are known have been invited to enrol themselves as members.

Men of the Regiment of good character on taking their discharge are eligible for election, and are requested to send their names and addresses to the Hon. Secretary.

The Annual Subscription is 2s. 6d.

Invitations to the dinner are sent to members and (amongst others) to all Chelsea Pensioners of the Regiment who come as guests of the Association.

The Association has been the means of assisting many past members of the Regiment to obtain employment, and is very largely resorted to by men in need of help and advice.

Donations and subscriptions to the funds of the Association should be sent to the Hon. Secretary, from whom all particulars as to membership and otherwise can be obtained.

Hon. Secretary
Mr FRED. E. M. THOMPSON,
14 Blandford Street, Manchester Square, London, W. 1.
