Comforts for Wounded Soldiers.
The cheerful and generous manner in which
the children of the country are remembering
our sick and wounded warriors is well illustrated
by the pictures on this page. The
church members and school children of Cumberland
Road Primitive Methodist Church,
Reading, were invited to bring gifts of
flowers and eggs one Sunday. After an afternoon
service and appropriate sermon the
children marched in procession to Redlands
War Hospital bearing bunches of flowers and
baskets of eggs and presented them to the
matron and nurses, who accepted them very
gratefully on behalf of the patients. In a
little speech Bessie Young said that the
flowers would help to brighten the wards and
cheer the inmates.
