There are Polish soldiers, sailors and airmen in Britain, in Africa, in Egypt. They played their gallant part in Norway, in Greece and elsewhere. There are Polâ€" ish refugees that need help as well. It is for the soldiers, the sailors, the airâ€" men, the refugees, that the Polish Naâ€" tional Aid collects funds, All the money so gathered is sent through the Canaâ€" dian Red Cross so that it will surely reach those in need and none others.
