The Home Guard
Sir,— (Many will be in complete agreement with the. closing remarks of your sub-leader re the Home Guard. There are thousands of young married men who consider that their duty lies in staying at home to defend New Zealand rather than in going overseas and perhaps leaving ‘their native land defenceless if an enemy attack should be made here.
■Cannot the Home Guard scheme be extended to include young men and men in the prime of life with home commitments, who are anxious to render themselves as efficient as possible in defence of their homes? In fact, are they not the first people who should be offered facilities for training?—l am, etc., BENEDICT. 'Wellington, August 21.
