To add to the weight of testimony published last week in favour of sock-making we are authorized to state Mrs, Bray recently wrote to a member of the S.V.C. saying that Colonel Bray had asked her to send 800 pairs of socks. He wished to give each of his men five pairs, dry socks being the best preventive of trench feet, The British members of the 8.V.C. rose gallantly tothe occasion and a substantial sum was collected and wired home to Mrs.
Bray.
