France and Belgium, you would understand why 
our soldiers themselves ask you to support the 
Y.M.C.A. Mile after mile, hour after hour, you 
would see, thousands of feet- below you, the 
never-ending movement of tens of thousands of 
khaki figures swarming round the Y.M.C.A. 
huts and tents arid dug-outs. 
And you would realise, to quote the words of Field- 
Marshal Sir Douglas Haig himself, that the constant 
extension of the work of the Red Triangle "itself testifies 
to the high, regard in which it is held by our soldiers." 
Huts and Tents are urgently 
needed for France & Flanders. 
WUl you give one ? 
£600 will provide a completely equipped portable Hut 
which can be easily moved up as the British line 
advances. Will you give one? If you cannot give a 
complete Hut, will you contribute part of the cost? 
The other day a wounded soldier, grateful for the refresh- 
ment given him on his way back from the fifihting, emptied 
his pockets of all that he had— fourpence halfpenny— and 
insisted on offering it as his donation to the funds of the 
Y.M.C.A. He had risked his life; he had done his bit ; he 
was wounded and in pain ; but he offered every penny he pos- 
sessed. What will you give — for him and for his comrades? 
It costs £600 a day to maintain the huge war work 
of the Y.M.C.A. and donations are urgently needed. 
Please send your Cheque to-day. 
Donations should be addressed to Major R. L. Barclay, Y.M.C.A. 
National Headquarters. 12, Russell Square, London. W.C. I. Cheques 
should be made payable to Major R. L. Barclay, and crossed 
' Barclay's Bank, Ltd,"
