A small excerpt from a 'French Wounded Emergency Fund October 1917 Quarterly Bulletin': The French Wounded Emergency Fund, an English Society managed by an English Committee, was established in 1914 to assist the French Military Hospitals. In a few months it did so much good work that the FRENCH GOVERNMENT gave it their special authority to visit the hospitals, and to send its supplies free of dues and freight. Early in the present year the urgent call for help from the villages in the reconquered region of the Somme was one to which the fund felt bound to respond. The FRENCH GOVERNMENT has entrusted a group of villages to the Fund's care, and a staff of devoted workers is now employed in this work of mercy.
