CIGARETTES FOR MEN AT FRONT
APPEAL MADE BY OVERSEAS LEAGUE “In many ways this war is unlike the last war, but in one respect it is the same. We have to show the men at the front that they are constantly in our thoughts,” says Sir Evelyn Wrench,- director-general of the Overseas League, in an appeal for the tobacco fund for the troops. In the last war the Overseas League collected £368,203 for this purpose and distributed 324,000,000 cigarettes. Through the Overseas League Tobacco Fund 1/- will send 50 cigarettes to a man on active service—three times the quantity obtainable in Great Britain. Communications should be addressed to Sir Evelyn Wrench, Overseas League Tobacco Fund, London.
