OSWESTRY SOLDIERS’ FAMILIES RELIEF FUND

 

 

 

     A public meeting was held 10 Aug. 1914 to consider raising a fund to assist wives and families of Oswestry soldiers and sailors on active service.  A committee was formed to administer the fund.  Payments were made from it until 1936.  In Jan. 1941 part of the remaining money was donated to other charitable causes, and the balance remained in the bank accumulating interest until 1962, after which date no further entries were made in the accounts.
