OCTOBER 24TH, 1946 FLIGHT Advertisements. 25 "OPERATION TOFORGETTING" Here dead lie toe, because we did not choose To live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose ; But young men think it is, and we were young. A. E. HOUSMAN These are the graves of the men who died in the assault on St. Nazaire. They are beyond your help but they have left behind them mothers, widows and young families some of whom are in need, all of whom deserve the chance to get on in the world that their men folk cannot now give them. St. Nazaire was only one of over 200 operations in which the Commandos played a glorious part and which exacted a heavy toll in killed and wounded. In joining the Commandos these men abandoned rank and high pay and, sometimes, the right to call on their own regimental charities. Britain still has need of such men. By contributing to the Commando Benevolent Fund you play your part in ensuring a rising generation of enterprising adventurous young- sters. And you also help to see that dis- ability does not crush the spirit of those who have been handicapped in earning a living. Send a donation and write for leaflets giving fuller details of "OPERATION UNFORGETTING." Please help the COMMANDO BENEVOLENT FUND Registered under the War Char-ties Ac*. PRESIDENT: ADMIRAL THE VISCOUNT MOUNTBATTEN OF BURMA i-3, PRINCES GATE, LONDON, S.W.7. Telephone : Kensington 1488. y^~ The Commando Benevolent Fund gratefully acknowledges the generosity of Messrs. Miles Aircraft who have donated the space normally occupied by their own advertising.
