"HERITAGE."
Sir,-I was interested in your article on "Heritage" and its objects. Many months ago I read an account of some similar organisation in Australia that was started during the last Great War. There were pictures of boys being attended to by dentists and doctors, also others giving the sons of fallen soldiers advice and companionship. It was a most interesting account of what the Australians had done for the sons of their fallen comrades. I am speaking as a war widow with an only son, so I can speak with experience, when I say how helpful it would have been had an organisation like what is evidently being formed now been in operation during the last twenty-four years. My son had every help and kindness shown him by his relatives but outside advice would often have been appreciated. I don’t want anyone to think that I am making any complaint about the kind of treatment that I have received during these long years. God’s promise to be a father to the fatherless, and a husband to the widow has never once failed me, and I’m sure it never will. How I remember the benefits from the Trentham Scholarship fund which enabled my boy to keep on with his music, etc. But please pass on my congratulations to those who have started this movement to help these fatherless lads who are now in our midst.
A WAR WIDOW
