SOLDIERS’ LEAVE
Christmas And New Year Holidays
N.Z.E.F. AND HOME UNITS Leave to be granted members of the military forces at Christmas and New Year has been arranged by Army Headquarters. All Expeditionary Force soldiers in Now Zealand, including the Army Tank Brigade at IVaiouru, will be able to have both holidays at home. Many of the home defence forces will enjoy the same privilege, while others will be given leave as opportunity occurs. Expeditionary Force troops will be dispatched in two groups. Some will have leave from December 18-19 to January 5, and the others will be away from their camps from December 21-22 to January 6. Territorials, apart from cadres, will be dispatched to read) their homes by December 23. This means that those who would normally be demobilized at the end of December, after completing three months 1 training. will finish more than a week earlier.
Training cadres will be given leave for part or all of the period from December 22 to January 5 inclusive, subject to carrying out duties, such as draft conducting, for which they may be detailed. Camp staffs will have 14 days’ leave during December or January, as opportunity occurs. Fortress troops and guards at vital points will be given 14 days’ leave from December 23 inclusive as duties permit. They will be sent away from time to time in small detachments so that their posts are still constantly and sufficiently manned.
