An appeal on behalf of the Polish Relief Fund, by John Gielgud
From the outbreak of war until the collapse of France the Polish Relief Fund assisted Polish refugees on the Continent as well as in the United Kingdom. Since France capitulated, however, there are about 5,000 additional civilian Poles, as well as the Polish Army, over here, and it is for these that this appeal is made on the day which marks the anniversary of Hitler's ruthless invasion of their country.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to John Gielgud, Esq... [address removed]
