Many years ago, when I was in the Royal Engineers, we used to pay into the Hospital Savings Association.
This cost about a shilling a week and could be paid weekly or monthly. Subscriptions were collected. If you had been in it two or three years, you had a bit of priority. This was run by the Civil Service.
What has happened to the accumulation of that money? No one has mentioned it. It was also possible to pay similarly into the Red Cross - again, it was all optional. Just think of the money that has accumulated.
