SERVICE OVERSEAS
CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 27. The question of sending married men with families to servo overseas was discussed at a meeting of the Kaiapoi branch of the Returned Services Association when tlie following motion was carried:—'
“This association strongly protests against the of married men with familes overseas till the whole position is reviewed, and all single men and mar* ried men without children, mobilised or lo be mobilised, havo left these shores. We suggest that all appeals and medical gradings be reviewed so that every fit man without children bo compelled to do bis full share of military duty. Wo are satisfied that too many fit men in civil life are escaping military servico while married men with families arc made to serve. This ought not to be. “The members of this association also feel that no person of military age, not serving in the forces, should have authority to dictate to men of women when, or how, they should serve. This is an anomaly which should not exist.”
