National Wool Collection

From the Amman Valley Chronicle, 9th May 1918.

NATIONAL WOOL COLLECTION.

APPEAL TO CHILDREN AND OTHERS.

Wool is much needed for making clothing and warm blankets for our sailors and soldiers.  Will children or anyone do this little bit of Voluntary War Work, and help to keep up the supply by gathering the tufts of sheep’s wool left on hedges, moors, and hundreds of other places. 
Last year the collection of wool was a great success, and it is hoped that this season even a larger amount may be saved.  Now is the moment to do this, before the sheep have lost their winter fleeces.  The wool need not be cleaned in any way, but thorns, sticks, and bits of wire ought to be removed.  Wool should be sent to Lady Amhurst, Sheep's Wool Depot, 23, Queen's Gate Gardens, London, S.W.
