CITIZENS AND DEFENCE. j
TO THE EDITOR OF "THE PRESS." | Sir, —When the Defence Corps was | started, there was an understanding that there should be an ago distinction with regard to drill, etc. This has not been done, and it should be donp. It is not fair that the older men should have to drill and stand about in the cold and wet as they have had to do so far. Tliev won't complaiu, no fear of that. The keen old chaps will go \ till they drop first, but I know several \ instances where harm has come of it. It must not bo allowed to go on. I dare not sign my name—the "Old Brigade" might mob me—but prefer to remain.—Yours, etc.. A MEDICAL UNIT. - •• — i
