In our correspondence columns there is some rather trenchant criticism on the manner in which wounded and other soldiers are received when they come home, and the forgetfulness at home of those men at the Front, in the way of sending “fags” and other comforts.
The complaint first arose in regard to what were termed Penygroes slackers, but that village has proved by the bumper send-off given to Lance-Corpl. Coslett Davies that it does not altogether deserve the stigma cast upon it.
That the people at home are not so mindful of those who are fighting is general of the whole district. For the past few weeks we have had an appeal in our columns in connection with the “Daily News” Christmas Pudding Fund, and not a single person has found it in his or her heart to respond by sending even the smallest amount towards it.
Perhaps now that attention is specifically called to it the negligence will be remedied so that the Welsh boys may have their full share of the seasonable delicacy.
