RETURNED SOLDIERS
Sir,—ln Monday's Herald "Gallipoli" appealed that ex-servicemen be given the right to live, meaning that tliev be enabled to get work and earn a decent living. It is a tragic state of affairs that a man with 4J years of active service, decent, sober and conscientious, with a wife and children, should have to walk miles looking for work, oftep unsuccessfully. And what of hosts of others? We women worked hard during the long years of the war to enable the soldiers on active service to have home comforts. Their need is greater now, since the country no longer needs their services. Are we women going to allow this state of affairs to continue? Women's organisations have done much to alleviate suffering and distress among those more unfortunate than themselves. Can we not combine and make a mighty effort to relieve the distress among these gallant men. who gave far more than we can ever hope to repay?
Heady and Willing to Help.
