Appeal on behalf of the British Friendship to Greece Society, by Dilys Powell
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to M[address removed]
The British Friendship to Greece Society was founded towards the end of 1945 by a group of English men and women who had come to know and love the Greek people during the Second World War. They sought to keep alive the spirit which had brought Greece to our side in 1940, at a time when we had no combatant ally left in the field, and to express Britain's thanks to a country which had given- to thousands of our serving men protection and hospitality as refugees from the enemy occupation during the rest of the war. Having started only with the intention of creating personal links by gifts and correspondence between individuals, schools, institutions, and communities in all parts of both countries, the Society found itself drawn into the field of material relief as a result of the Civil War. In four years it has sent and distributed more than £ 20,000 worth of goods of all kinds all over Greece. To continue and spread this work of friendship [he Society now appeals for funds.
