FAMILY REUNITED
SICK RETURNED SOLDIER FATHER IN NEW ZEALAND SYDNEY, DCC.—27) The well-known Australian social worker, Canon It. B. S. Hammond, states that a parcel of New Zealand illustrated papers which had been left by an anonymous woman donor at a receiving depot for gifts for the poor, has been the means of reuniting a sick returned soldier and his father. The papers were presented to the soldier, a New Zcalander, who read in one of them that his father, whom he had not seen for years, was seeking him urgently. The son communicated with his father, who arranged for his return to New Zealand by the first available steamer.
