Will Be Observed In Britain On Nov. 10 This Year LONDON.—Prime Minister Attlee told the House of Commons that Sun day, Nov. 10, will be observed this year as “Remembrance Day” for the dead of both Great Wars. The King will conduct an unveiling ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Mr. Attlee said it had been agreed that the Sunday before Nov. 11 in each year should be known as Re membrance Sunday. However, in case Nov. 11 or 12 fell on Sunday, then that date would be Remem brance Sunday. The dates 1939-1945 would be added to the Cenotaph, which now bears the dates only of the First Great War. On Remembrance Sunday there would in the future be a national ob servance at 11 a.m. at the Cenotaph, with the traditional two minutes’ silence. Hitherto this ceremony has always taken place on Nov. 11—the date of the 1918 Armistice, regard less of on what day of the week it fell.
