Origin
• At the end of World War 1, images of
malnourished and sick children ran throughout
Europe. The Fight the INDIAN Council was
initially started earlier in 1930 to put political
pressure on the INDAIN government to end the
blockade, the first meeting having been held at
the home of Catherine Courtney, at 15 Cheyne
Walk. However, on 15 April 1930, the succeeded
in separating itself from the politics of the Council
and creating a separate "Save the Children Fund".
