Comforts for Welsh f Troops. I i WHAT TO SEND. Mr. W. G. C. Gladstone, M.P., H.M. Lieutenant for Flintshire, writing from the Barracks, Wrexham, says There will be many people in Flintshire who would be glad of the opportunity of sending articles of comfort to soldiers at the front, especially perhaps for the bene- fit of those men who come from North Wales. The Second Battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, commanded by Col. H. Delme Radcliffe, is, of course, already at the front, and the First Battalion will pre- sumably soon be there. Mrs. Delme Radcliffe has kindly consen- ted to receive at Silsoe, Ampthill, Bedford- shire, and forward all suitable articles of comfort for the Second Battalion, and Mrs. Cadogan, Gayhurst, Newport Pagnell, Bucks, will do so for the benefit of the First Battalion. It should be noted that the Second Bat- talion urgently, requires shirts, eocks, and body belts, as well as other comforts, for they have not been able to recover any of their kit, from which they became separa- ted during the forced marches at the be- ginning of the war. General Sir Henry Mackinnon has indi- cated that the following articles will be very much appreciated :—Khaki handker- chiefs, bootlaces, newspapers and periodi- cals, chocolate, peppermint, dried fruits, briar pipes and tobacco pouches, tobacco, Cake Cavendish, plug or twist preferred (packed in thin tinfoil if possible), meat lozenges, cigarettes, cigarette papers and cigarette tobacco. SmaR tins of boracic ointment, borated vaseline for sore feet, antiseptic powder, pocket-knives, postcards, and lead pencils, Cardigan jackets, Bala- clava caps, scarves. Wines and spirits should not be sent. Hospital requirements are not included in this list. I trust that the information will be of service to all those who would like to do something, however little, to mitigate the hardships and privations which our men are undergoing at the front.
