W.A.A.C. UNIFORMS
Sir,—ihe footnote to my letter is no answer to my question, nor does it deny' that uniforms of the South African and Great War are still stowed away' rotting. This is the third war to which 1 have subscribed, and I ask what is to be done with the coats, uniforms, and battledress. These garments cost many thousands of pounds, and a large part of this cost could be returned to the war funds if the W.A.A.C.’s were permitted to buy them at reasonable cost. These uniforms have been worn seven days a week and will never again be used, so why store them away or burn them? As for the ties and shirts, they are no use without the uniform. The shoes let the water in from the day of issue and the gloves have been worn for years.—Yours, etc.. , A MOTHER. September 21, 1944.
