MONEY FOR TROOPS.
.INCREASE IN TOTAL AMOUNT. NO SPECIAL CHRISTMAS SUM. (P.A.) W-ELLINGTON, This Day. Instead of providing for a special Christmas remittance for the present year, the Hon. W. Nash announced today the Government has decided to increase by £lO, from £3O to £4O (New Zealand currency) the amount which may be transmitted during any one remittance year to members of the armed forces serving overseas. The remittance years for the Ist and 2nd Echelon troops commences on June 1, while for all others the remittance year commences as from the date of embarkation.
Many relatives and friends of men serving overseas forward remittances as Christmas gifts, and these remitters are urged to lodge money at a bank and forward the bank receipts to the departments concerned (namely, Ease Records, Air and Navy Departments) as early as possible, and certainly not later than November 24.
