MAORI TROOPS
PAPAKURA DRAFT SCHEDULE RE-ADJUSTED «* Owing to there being no accommodation available in Wairoa for the Maori draft from Gisborne and the East Coast, which will, proceed to Papakura next week, a further change in the schedule of troop movements has had to be made. This means a reversion to the original plan of dispatching the Maori contingent in the early morning of Wednesday, May 15.' The native recruits will assemble at Poho-o-Rawiri overnight, and will leave at 5.30 a.m. for Wairoa. where they will entrain for the balance of their journey to the training centre at Papakura. No change is being made in the arrangements for the Special Force detachment for Papakura, which will parade at the Abercorn Hall at 8.30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 14.
