DESERTION ALLEGED
TWO SOLDIERS CHARGED
DID NOT SAIL WITH UNITS
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Charges of desertion from Burnham mobilisation camp with intent to avoid embarkation were preferred two soldiers of the Second N.^.E.F. at a district court-martial at Uurnham this morning. Accused were Privates William Henry Hudson and Gordon Noel Boyd. Each was charged with desertion in that, being posted for active service, he absented himself without leave before embarkation and failed t° return to camp until after the draft had sailed for overseas. Hudson was arrested by military police, but Boyd voluntarily returned to camp. In both cases the findings of the Court will be communicated to the convening officer, Brigadier O. H. Mead, and promulgated in due course.
