Our valiant armies have just liberated

400,000 PERSONS in Belgium and Northern France

The enemy has ROBBED Them of Everything
Old Men, Women and Children are in urgent need of
Clothing, Boots & Blankets
The Congregational Schoolroom, Church-street will be open the first three days of next week to receive parcels.
The Allied Governements appeal to you. Kindly respond.
