THE BRITISH FIELD HOSPITAL FOR BELGIUM.
[To ma 11.1105 Or SPECTATOR."] SIR,—I should be obliged if I may claim once more the hospitality of your columns to make an appeal on behalf of the
British Field Hospital for Belgium. Since the Hospital left Antwerp on the fall of that city, it has been established under the direct control of the Belgian Minister for War at Fumes. Our patron, the Queen of the Belgians, is indefatigable in her visits to the Hospital. During the last month no less than a thousand cases have been treated in the Hospital. It is now under the direction of Mr. W. S. Perrin, M.A., F.R.C.S., who has resigned the Registrarship of the London Hospital on purpose to become Commandant. He is assisted by a staff of seven surgeons and twenty-two nurses, all fully qualified. A sum of £20,000 is required for the efficient working of the Hospital, and we appeal -to the British public to supply this sum as part of the debt which we owe to the long-suffering Belgian nation. Subscriptions should he sent addressed to the Secretary, British Field Hospital for Belgium, 21 Suffolk Street, Pall Mall, S.W., and crossed London .County and Westminster Bank, Sloane Square, S.W.—I am, sir, &c., W. F. Coss, D.D. 21 Suffolk Street, Pall Mall, S.W.
