Our War Contributions

The compiler regrets his inability, owing to the want of the necessary data, to place on record in this issue a details statement of the part taken by loyal Barbadians in keeping the old flag flying during the 41/2 strenuous years of war from which the Empire has but recently emerged. Such a statement, however, is now in course of official preparation, and will be published in a future issue of this directory. The list which appears below has been collected from the various acknowledgements appearing in the local press from time to time, and speaks volumes for the appreciation of duty on the part of our people in the Empire’s hour of need.

	$	c
Belgium Relief Fund	15,549	32
Prince of Wales Fund	20,806	04
Queen Mary’s Fund	9,440	60
British Red Cross and Order of St John of Jerusalem Fund	8,547	53
British, French, and Belgium Red Cross Fund	13,965	79
Mrs Swaby’s Red Cross Fund	3,729	89

Barbados Motor Ambulance Fund	39,334	41
West Indian Contingent Fund	3,511	02
Citizens’ Contingent Fund	14,614	28

Besides the amounts disclosed in the foregoing list, there have been contributions to several other war funds and war charities by patriotic citizens, and working parties of ladies have been organised in various centres for the purpose of providing Red Cross supplies and other necessary articles for men at the front. The sum of £60,000 was voted by the Legislature in three instalments of £20,000 each to the Imperial Exchequer towards the cost of carrying on the war, and £100 was voted to the Lord Kitchener Memorial Fund. Special mention should also be made of the splendid contribution of Mr Alexander Ashby, one of our respected citizens – now numbered with the immortal dead – who added to the island’s proud record by presenting to the Imperial Government his entire estate worth well over £50,000. The gift has been declared to be the most munificent benefaction recorded in the history of the island.
