BURIAL OF CHIEF SCOUT
Lord Baden Powell, the Chief Scout, was buried yesterday afternoon in the tiny cemetery at Nyeri, in Kenya.
The funeral was carried out with full military honours befitting Lord Baden Powell’s rank as Lieutenant General.
Lady Baden Powell was not present as she had been obliged to go into the country to rest after the strain of nursing her husband during his illness.
The British Government has made an offer of burial in Westminster Abbey but the question whether the offer will be accepted or the remains transferred to Gilwell (the Scout centre in Britain) will not be decided until after the war. – Reuter.

童軍總領袖下葬
童軍總領袖貝登堡勳爵(Lord Baden Powell)於昨日下午,在肯尼亞尼耶利(Nyeri)的小型墓地安葬。
整個儀式以軍葬禮形式舉行,以迎合貝登堡勳爵中將的身份。
貝登堡夫人(Lady Baden Powell)沒有出席儀式,她因長期照顧患病丈夫而過勞,現於鄉郊進行休養。
英國政府已提出將靈柩轉移至西敏寺(Westminster Abbey),至於接受提議,或轉移至基維爾(Gilwell)(英國的童軍中心),一切留待戰爭結束後再行決定。
