HOSPITAL BLUE.
SOLDIERS REFUSE TO ACCEPT
UNIFORMS
(FBESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
AUCKLAND, May 9
The objection raised by invalid soldiers to wearing the blue hospital uniforms was brought to a head by the patients at the Auckland Hospital annexe, who refused to parade to receive their issue of blue clothing. The men held a meeting instead, and decided not to wear the uniforms, and requested that blue stars or armlets,'to be worn on the khaki uniform, should bo issued instead. They handed a petition to the mcdical superintendent for submission to the Officer Commanding the District.
