UNWELCOME "COMFORT"
BULLY BEEF IN PARCELS Strong condemnation of firms which accept commissions to send parcels to troops overseas and include bully beef in them is expressed in a letter from Mr. Norman Vazey, of Sandringham. "My brother, who is serving in the Middle East," writes Mr. Vazey, "just before Christmas received from an organisation of kindly people two parcels, each containing, of all things, a tin of bully beef. An extract from his letter reads: 'I would like to make some of those responsible for packing such parcels live on bully and biscuits for a while, as we have had to do for long periods.' " "Strong language, perhaps," comments Mr. Vazey, "but no language is too strong for those who are so regardless of their trust in supplying comforts to those who are fighting and dying for them."
