There is no more pathetic spectacle than that of a man, still young, who has lost everything but bare life. Linked to a nerveless, helpless body is the restless spirit of sturdy manhood. The mind is vigorous and alert: there is still the intense longing of youth in a body which is incapable of movement. Think what a comfort the British Women's Hospital will be to these men and help.

The women of Britain who have played their part and sacrificed so much in this great world war are now by their own efforts building and equipping a splendid hospital at Richmond. Amidst beautiful surroundings, to be used as a home for the men permanently injured and utterly broken and helpless as a result of the present terrible struggle. It is to be a permanent memorial of women's gratitude to the men who have suffered and died in the cause of freedom. Will you join in this splendid effort?
