THANKS FROM BELGIAN REFUGEE.

To the Editor, Amman Valley Chronicle

Sir, — As it is quite impossible for us to pay an individual visit to every one of the inhabitants of the parish of Llandebie who have been so sympathetic towards the Belgian refugees, we take the opportunity of offering to them, through your columns, our deep gratitude for their noble actions towards our cause during the whole year we have stayed here.

We present our sincerest wishes for a Happy New Year to all the people of Llandebie. For many of them this season will not be so happy as previous years, as many a dear one is absent for the sake of our common freedom, and we sympathise very much in their anxieties.

This season will not bring us joy; our thoughts will go to our devastated homes, to our “Petite Belgique,” where red rivers run through burning ashes; and at the same time, those same thoughts will go to this country, to Great Britain, where the Belgian has found the friend in the hour of need.

Meanwhile, I am, &c.,
LEON DEWULF
For the Belgian Refugees.
Bridge Street. Llandebie.
