In recent issues reference has been made to the War Seal Foundation, and we have now been able to obtain various further particulars, which may be of interest. the first place the object of the Foundation is to erect dwellings in which the man, disabled in the war, can live with his family on his pension, The scheme for raising the money, so initiated by Mr. Oswald Stall, consists in the sale and use of the War Seal on correspondence. On a diamond-shaped khaki background, @ round red seal bears the inscription, in white, " Disabled, Service 1914-15." Above and below are the words "War" and "Seal" respectively and at each side of the seal is the value thereof, '4d.""
During the past pear 3,477,800,000 letters passed through the General Post Office, apart from postearde and parcels, and it is estimated that @ war seal on each of those letters would have brought in £7,000,000. Though it could not be expected that such a large eum would be raised, the amount, if it were obtained, could be fully utilized in the erection of dwellings en the suburbs of large English towns and cottages and bungalows in the country.
