A BAD MEMORY
GROUND FOR APPEAL DISMISSAL BY BOARD
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. A man who claimed that his memory was too bad for him to be .of any use to the army, appeared before the Armed Forces Appeal Board to-day. He was William Davey, and an appeal was also lodged for him by his wife. Both appeals were dismissed.
"When I am at work I go to one end of the building to get a job," appellant said. "When I return to my bench I can't remember what I was told to do—it's gone in a flash. If I went into the army I wouldn't remember whether my rifle was loaded or not." The chairman of the Court said the Army would find out whether he was suitable or not.
