HLI Chronicle 1915 - The Royal Highland Fusiliers

HIGHLAND LIGH'!' INFANTRY CHRONICLE.
'17:
partly explained by the provision by a generous
public of recreation rooms where the soldiers
~all strangers to the district-can spend a
pleasant evening amidst wholesome surroundings.
The Khaki Club, which has been specially
furnished and opened for the troops, has
proved immensely popular, and the fact that
the officers of the H.L.I. have regularly and
generously subscribed to the funds is a tribute
to the excellent work that the Club has been
enabled to accomplish. Apart from the cheerfu1
and cosy rooms, writing material, games,
etc., are pro"t'ided free of charge, and two splendid
khaki-covered billiard tables are a source
()f pleasure. Each Sunday evening an entertainment
well worthy of any public concert
hall is given, and these have proved particularly
popular. In the Regiment there is
a good deal of vocal talent, and the soldier
artistes are never backward in responding
to an invitation to assist.
Mr. Fred. Rogers, hon. secretary, writes:­
"I have personally distributed over 1000
articles, such as mittens, mufflers, socks,
and shirts, amongst our visitors at the Club,
but there is always a great demand for socks
and shirts, of which our stock is exhausted.
I should be pleased to receive any that your
readers might send. The troops are really
grateful for them."
