ing a royal ceremony in honor of the
country’s fighting men.
At the front of the open inclosure
was a canopied pavilion for members
of the royal family, flanked by rows
of chair for the soldiers, sailors and
nurses designated for decorations, to
gether with the American delegations,
representatives of the dominions and
of Great Britain’s allies, members of
parliament and others. Representa
tives of the American embassy were i
seated bes’de the French delegation, j
