Many of the hutments at Trentham are being converted into hospital wards, linked by corridors to accommodate about 700 soldiers who will require orthopaedic treatment on return to New Zealand. Vocational and occupational training will be an important feature. Apart from structural alterations the chief new work being done is lavatory provision. All the work, which is expected to be completed in the middle of next month, is being carried out by the Army Ordnance Department. Military surgeons and other experts specially trained in orthopaedics are now arriving in New Zealand.
