Through the St. Barnabas' Pilgrimage Fund we
have received the names of about fifty near
relatives who wish to visit the graves of their
dear ones in and around Ypres, and who are known
to be unable to afford the full cost of the journey.
The Ypres League Hostel Fund have promised to
help them to some extent, and in consequence it
will only be necessary to raise two pounds a
head to let these bereaved mothers and widows
attain the desire of their heart. This should not
be beyond the generosity of members of the
League. We print a list of the localities from
which these applicants are drawn, and we are
ready to receive subscriptions which may be
allotted to the general Poor Pilgrims Fund,"
or to those from a specific locality.
