Saturday 2 March 1918 – Extra money for the Soldiers’ Fund

FOR THE BADSEY SOLDIERS

To the Editor of the “Journal & Advertiser”

Sir

Since your statement in the last issue, I have, on behalf of committee, much pleasure in stating that, owing to unlooked-for subscriptions coming in, we are now in a position to hand over to the local boys (who number for the three parishes about 200) the sum of £164. The committee are at once taking steps to distribute the money to the lads serving their country. I am pleased to say the above showed a clear balance sheet, as expenses were nil.

Thanking you for inserting the above, on behalf of the committee

Believe me,

Yours faithfully.

A H MUSTOE, Hon Sec
