Appeal on behalf of tho National King's Roll, by Admiral Sir HENRY BRUCE
THE King's Roll was instituted by the King in 1919, when employers throughout the British
Isles were asked to employ a certain minimum! percentage of disabled ex-Service men. The! scheme is administered by a National Council, whose chairman is Earl Haig , and there are local committees in the big towns. It was 0110 ofi these-the Westminster Committee-that inaugurated the King's Roll Clerks' Association scheme, on Armistice Day, 1925, to train men whose disabilities, amounting on tho pension scale to fifty per cent. or more. prevent their following normal occupations. 182 such disabled men have passed through the Association, and been sent out as general clerks, in the two years of its work.
