First Mobile Canteen For Men Overseas
[Per Press Association. Copyright.] WELLINGTON, This Day.
Since being handed over, the mobile canteen presented to the National Patriotic Fund Board by the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association for service with the New Zealand forces overseas, has been finally equipped, the work being carried out in Wellington. The interior of the vehicle is well finished with cupboards and other storage accommodation, as well as bunks and a small wardrobe for the canteen crew.
Under the body is a 50-gallon water tank, and a small pump is installed to draw water from this tank to a 10gallon tank over a sink and tap inside the vehicle. Other special equipment includes a petrol three-burner stove and an extra petrol tank. This mobile canteen is the first from New Zealand for men overseas. .
