"MAIL" TOMqqO FUND EVERY Gd. WILL GLADDEN THE HEART OF A HERO. He will Remember Yon, because your Name will, be Written on "Every Parcel You Pay For, :i0 Cigarettes. 2 Oz. Tobacco. THIS 'is what you can present to a gallant British soldier or sailor by contributing Sixpence to the "Evening Mail" Cigarette and Tobacco Fund. This popular scheme for supplying our defenders with i'ree smoking material is meeting with the appreciation it deserves both here and at the front. ' A pleasing feature of the scheme is that it, places those who give and those who receive into communication with one another. The name and address of the donor is attached to the packet, so that Tommy Atkins knows exactly who has befriended him. And he does not forget ;he sends his thanks. Notes of appreciation are being received every day by English donors —notes written amid , the roaring of big guns, the screeching of shells, the z-zip-zip-ing of leaden messengers of' death. Our soldiers are giving their lives; you are asked to giye them something to smoke. It isn't much to you, but it is % great deal to Tommy Atkins, without tooacco of "fags" on the battlefield. This sending out of smoking material is a solemn duty. The empty pipe is bad enough anywhere, as every smoker knows, but at the front it is a tragedy. Our soldiers are inveterate smokers. They love the weed as they love their country. We hear of wounded men neggins for a cigarette when placed on .t,hex>perating table. We hear of a solitary "fag" or a pipe being passed round among a dozen soldiers. We read about Pommy smoking tea leaves. The French people have been very generous to Tommy Atkins in regard to "smokes," but Tommy Atkins dislikes their cigarettes. He says they have no "bite" iii them. He longs for a British smoke. . We ask you to help lis to see that he . gets it by sending just as many sixpences as you can. The destination of your parcels is left entirely to. yourself. . ' They, can be sent to any regiment at the Front, to any battleship, or they can be addressed to any individual soldier or sailor. * "MAIL" TOBACCO FUND I have pleasure in. sending herewith a contribution of to supply :.:...-. • packets of Tobacco and Cisarettos to our Soldiers and Sailors.
