We have received the following statement from the War Pensions,
&c., Statutory Committee, 22 Abingdon Street, S.W. :—
" A letter on The Disabled Soldier' in your issue of the 15th inst. rightly emphasizes the need of a Soldiers' Friend' in every town and village. One hopes that many will be provided through the secretaries and members of the local War Pensions Committees. It is the duty of local Committees to give information as to the State pensions, as well as to the supplementary allowances and grants for which the Statutory Committee is responsible. Moreover, arrange- ments have been made by which local Committees will be informed by the War Office and Admiralty of all local cases on discharge so, that there may be ' the well-considered individual attention ' desired."
In this context we may remind our readers that a letter dealing with this subject from a member of the Incorporated Soldiers and Sailors' Help Society is to be found in our correspondence columns.
