Thirza Pidgeon’s 1937 World Tour – 11 April: Memorial service at the Royal Military Chapel

Sunday, 11 April 1937

Went to Royal Military chapel to memorial service for an Australian soldier killed yesterday, very impressive, home for dinner. Met crowd at 6 at Lyons, Piccadilly. Had dinner there then Mrs Everett & I went to the arts theatre to a show. Had spot at interval with Col’s brother & sister. Good show, got home at midnight. Supper at Lyons at midnight.

 

[It would appear that the reference to the memorial service was for Arthur Sullivan, VC, who was in London to attend as a representative, the King’s Coronation and who was accidentally killed on 9 April, 1937.]
