Worcestershire Prisoners of war Fund – Registered under War Charities Act
1916

Subscriptions are urgently required for the purchase of food and Necessities for the 2179
Prisoners of War belonging to the Worcestershire Regiment.
We the undersigned, having been prisoners of war ourselves, state that it is absolutely
necessary, from our personal experience, to send food and smokes to prisoners of war, who
are mainly dependent on them for their existence..
We consider that their health and hope of return home will be seriously affected without
them.

H. G. Mantle, Qrmr.-Sgt., Worc. Yeo.
H. J. Holt, Private, Worc. Regt.
All remittances will be acknowledged by the Hon. Treasurer, A. C. Cherry, Esq., Capital and
Counties Bank Ltd., Worcester.
