WELFARE OF SOLDIERS
CONTENTED ARMY ESSENTIAL. “Welfare does not mean charity,” said Captain Margesson, Secretary of State for War, in a talk on the Army Welfare Department. "We have t,o deal with the officers and men who have the privilege of serving in, His Majesty’s land forces and have lost, for a time, the comforts and pleasures of home life. We at the War Office know how they feel in their new surroundings, and we now have a special department to look after the wellbeing .of these men. We try to help them -to keep their bodies healthy, their minds interested and their spirits untrammelled by routine. We want them to be fighting fit, and fit to fight when the occasion arises; we want officers and men to feel confidence in each other —in short, we want a contented army.” ,
