SOLDIERS’ MONEY
Complaints By Wives
Dominion Special Service. AUCKLAND, March 7.
The whereabouts of £1 sterling, for which she paid 25/-, are being sought by the wife of a Takapuna soldier now serving in Egypt. On December 17 she paid 25/- into the Bank of New Zealand ’in Auckland in the hope that her husband would have an extra £1 to spend at Christmas. The husband has not received the money and she said yesterday she cannot receive any satisfaction from the Pay Department in the matter.
The reverse process concerns the wife of an officer who has received rapid promotion. For some months he has tried by cablegram and letter to New Zealand and by instruction to the overseas pay office to increase her allotment, but in vain. The wife lias also made numerous inquiries in New Zealand, likewise without success. Tlie only consolation she says she has is that when st last tlie Pay Corps decide to heed her husband's instructions she should have a substantial sum of arrears to collect.
