THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER
POPPY DAY.
THE ASSISTANCE OF
EX-SERVICEMEN, 9/
There has been the usual con- troversy at Home and abroad as to the proper method of observing Armistice Day about which there will always be conflicting opinions, There can, however, only be ope opinion as to the desirability of contributing to the Poppy Day Fund, but it is, neverthe- less, Interesting to know how the funds raised by Lord Haig's appeal are disbursed. The allocation of the amounts subscribed is in the hands of the British Legion Bene- volent Committee; which sits under the personal chairmanship of the Field-Marshal, who has presided over every meeting of this Com- mittee.
In every instance the work undertaken by the British Legion, is designed to assist ex-service men' and women, either collectivaly or individually, in the solution of those problems with which they are confronted as the result of their war service. Not only does the Legion relieve distress amongst ex-Service men of all ranks, their dependants, and the widows and children of the fallen, but it alds them in establishing their cla!ms to pensions, finds them employment, advances money, free of intéreat. to set them up in business, faci- Jitate emigration, gives them free legal and other advice in respect of housing, employment, and kind- red matters, and (to quote Lord Haig's own words) assists general- ly to preserve brave deserving men from calamity, to encourage and comfort them in their tem porary adversity, so that they can Implant in their children the true British grit, which in the greatest crisis of its history, saved our they rendor"Empire from misery and ruin."
The provision and maintenance of these vital servicen obviously requires a considerable staff, and A small percentage of the money raised through the. Appeal Fand is allocated by the: Benevolent Com- mittee to the British Legion's Gen eral Funda for Headquarters and Area administration, full parti culars of which are contained in the Annual Report of the British Levlon, a copy of which la available to anyone interested,
