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 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.
