H.M.S. TANGANYIKA A convoy sets forth at dawn. Vital food supplies and armaments are carried by these merchant ships to all theatres of war. The convoy is preceded by a minesweeper to ensure safety for its passage. The minesweeper's instruments discover an enemy mine in the path of the convoy. It is brought to the surface and firmly disposed of by rifle fire and brilliant marksmanship by the gunners. The convoy reaches port and willing dockers rapidly unload it. Thanks to minesweepers who keep our shipping lanes free, Britain delivers the goods where they are most needed. Thank you, Tanganyika! Other gifts include Fighter Aircraft, Mobile Canteens, contributions to War Relief and Welfare Fund for Air Raid Relief, Red Cross, King George's Fund for Sailors, Aid to Russia, St. Dunstan's and many other funds.
