Parents or next of kin of the Ashburton Borough men are asked to hand in to the Red Cross depot in Havelock Street not later than next Saturday morning small items that they might wish to send to their boys. These can be cakes of soap (in tins), packets of envelopes, or small gifts than can he used to make .up the weight of the parcels.
