The international nature of the Theosophical Society meant that Theosophists everywhere were acutely aware of the horrendous events taking place around the world. Although the actual outbreak of war was no great surpise, it must have come as a great disappointment to members of the Theosophical Branch of the League of Nations Union who had work positively for World Peace for most of the inter-war years.

 

It is against the background of the events listed below that General Secretary, Peter Freeman made his appeal to continue the work.
