Games For The Men

From The Times, May 11th 1918. 

GAMES FOR THE MEN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Now that all your readers know what D.G.V.O. stands for, may I ask again for one of his activities entrusted to me—games for the men?  To my last letter the girls' schools answered munificently, the boys’ decently, while my old and trusted friend the general public was a surprisingly bad third.  My fault entirely: the public never fails the armies, but I forgot to remind it that every house has one game outdoor or indoor, left—the game I am asking for now.  The fact is these things are a bother to pack.  I know, having got off 5,000 this week.  Still, it can be done, and who cares for trouble to-day?
Yours faithfully,
JOHN PENOYRE.
Address for sending, D.G.V.O.'s depôt, 45, Horseferry-road, S.W.I.
