EASING THE BURDEN OF THE DISABLED
Appeal At Upper Hutt Just as the soldier would relieve his tired comrade on the march of his rifle or other gear, so there was still need to-day, when those who had suffered in the Great War were finding the road of life rough, of the same helping hand, said the president of the Upper Hutt branch of the Returned Soldiers’ Association, Mr. S. F. Carver, in his address at the Upper Hutt ceremony held at the Record Hall. An aftermath of the war was the number of disabled men and it was the duty of citizens to see they did not want. In honouring the dead they must not forget the living. The word Anzac meant more than the initial letters of two great fighting forces; it stood for an unrivalled sense of co-operation born on the slopes of Gallipoli, the burning sands of Palestine and in Flanders mud.
The mayor, Mr. A. J. McCurdy, presided. The Rev. G. W. Hunt gave the Scripture readiug and the Rev. N. E. Winhall the prayer. The municipal band accompanied the hymns. A fine guard of honour was provided by a platoon from the New Zealand Permanent Forces at Trentham.
