To those who have at heart the welfare of the ex-service com- munity, it will be interesting to know that the Ofcers' Association (which now operates as the on- cera Benevolent Department of | the British Legion) continues to give valuable assistance to ex- officers, their wives, 'widows, and dependants. The following figures afford an interesting record of the About Hong Kong extent of assistance rendered dur

ing the year 1927:-£29,802 was disbursed by way of interest-free granta and loans; 2,263 disabled and 4,465 non-disabled ex-officers wore helped at a cost of £17,731 and £22,372 respectively; £26,846 was expended on the education of 942 children, and £15,942 on the maintenance of familica.

We could go on quoting figures to show the many other directions in which the Legion is doing a noble work for those who have suffered as a consequence of the Great War, but we will content ourselves by referring to the fact that the Relief Department has REMEMBRANCE DAY. since its inception disbursed no
