The Yeomen of the Guard Sta,-Your illustration of the new

Shrine at Southwell House seems to connect the Yeomen of the Guard with the Tower of London. This (pace Gilbert and Sullivan) is completely erroneous. Moreover the Yeomen of the Guard do not carry halberds but partisans, as also do the Yeoman Warders of the Tower with

whom you seem to have confused the

Royal 8; odyguard.
