THE SPECIAL FORCE.
On breaking camp last Tbursdav everv single man was paid £10—a fortnight^ pay in advance and £3 bonus, which could foe classed as ration allowance. The married man received £2 16/, plus £3 bonus and 28/ in advance. Yet the soldier's wife and children received only the usual allowance. Why not pay in advance as with the single soldier T Will the wife get her allowance, which is due on December 28 and arrives thr«e or four days later, during the holiday period, or just when is it intended to pay the ones who need it the most?
