Appeal on behalf of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen by Lieutenant-Commander R. G. STUDD, D.S.O., R.N., Retired.
Donations should be sent to[address removed]
THE ROYAL NATIONAL MISSION TO DEEP SEA
FISHERMEN is the only Mission solely devoted to helping those gallant men who, winter and summer, supply us with fish. The life is one of incredible hardship, afloat in small craft winter and summer, following the most dangerous of all our National industries. The Mission, in addition to its spiritual work, provides the only means of rendering first aid to the men hundreds of miles from land—over 10,000 cases were dealt with last year alone--and provides for the men warm clothing to mitigate the hardships of winter. To do this, four Mission ships are constantly at sea, ministering to these men. Tonight's appeal is made by the Chairman of the Mission, Commander R. G. Studd , D.S.O.
(son of the Lord Mayor of London), who had a number of fishermen serving under him during the War in the Dover Patrol.
