Duke of Gloucester
As Patron Of The Comforts Fund.
Mr. S. S. Crick, Federal President of the Australian Comforts Fund, has expressed pleasure with a remark made in London by the Duke of Gloucester, “I look forward to a closer association with the A.C.F. as patron in Australia.” The Duke was speaking at the opening of the new £25,000 club and hostel provided by the A.C.F. in London which will accommodate 150 Australian servicemen on leave daily. Mr. Crick added that he intended to bring the matter before a meeting at the Federal Executive of the A.C.F. with a view to issuing a formal invitation to the Duke to accept the office of patron.
