One outstanding feature of camp life which appealed to a soldier who is at present in Dunedin on leave from Trcntham was the waste of good food which goes ou there—"criminal waste" was the term he applied. He stated that the men were not allowed to keep in the tents any of the food which was not consumed at a meal—it had to be disposed of, and was thrown into the pigs' bucket. Good butter, joints of meat, etc., found refuge in this receptacle. About 50 per cent of the men were granted week-end leave, and allowing that, under ordinary circumstances, three tables, each accommodating 10, were set out with food for one mess tent, ut the week ends only about 15 men had to be catered for. The soldier states, however, that in many instances food is drawn for the whole .'lO imen, and as 15 men cannot eat the amount of food allotted for 30, a lnrge quantity is left over. This is finally thrown into the pigs' bucket.
