POINTS FROM LETTERS
THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS HELP SOCIETY.
I would be grateful if you would allow me to call the attention of your readers to the work that is -successfully being carried on by the Soldiers and Sailors Help Society, a channel through which we can all express remembrance and gratitude to the survivors of the Great War who are living in our midst, now in disablement or necessity- The society has been the means of assisting over a million men who served in His Majesty's Forces, and several thousands of severely war-wounded men have been trained and employed in the Lord Roberts Memorial Workshops. There are still, however, vast numbers of disabled and needy ex-Service men who, in their appeal to the society for relief are a constant drain on its resources, and in these difficult times, it is a formidable task to extend the help that is so sorely needed. Our president, the Duke of Connaught, " an old soldier of sixty-four years' service," to quote His Royal Highness' description of himself, recently remarked that " no country had ever been so loyally and splendidly supported as this had been by the Navy, Army, and Air Force." May I, on this anniversary of the declaration of the Great War, earnestly ask every one of your readers to subscribe as generously as possible to our funds ? Please send your donation to me, as hon. treasurer of the Society, at 122 Brompton Road, London, S.W. 3.—ROGER KEYES.
