Sir Oswald Stoll's 'War Seal Foundation' was set up by him to create Housing for Vulnerable First World War Veterans in Fulham, London in 1916, you can read about it here. Today the charity is called 'Stoll' and is currently under threat as it is in financial difficulty and it is highly probable that Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions will be sold to Chelsea Football Club and consigned to dust. A petition has been set up to try and save the housing for its original purpose, please consider signing the petition if you feel strongly about this here.
