Appeal on behalf of the Ex-Services Welfare Society, by the President, Marshal of the Royal Air Force Viscount Portal of Hungerford, K.G., G.C.B., O.M., D.S.O., M.C.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Lord Portal[address removed]
The Ex-Services Welfare Society was founded in 1919 for all ranks of all branches of H.M. Forces, including the Merchant Navy, suffering from war psychoses and neuroses. It supplements the work of the State and local authorities on behalf of 26,000 ex-Servicemen and women now in mental hospitals, and very many thousand other sufferers who are not well enough to take their places in normal life.
Besides offices in London dealing with every aspect of this specialist work, the Society maintains its own curative homes, and an industrial centre where recovered patients may live a normal life and work under sheltered conditions.
