TRAINING CAMP FOOD
Sir, —On behalf of the returned soldier members of 13tli Battery Heavy Artillery, at present in camp at North Head, I wish to protest against a statement made by a correspondent in Wednesday's Herald. Your correspondent has certainly been grossly misinformed when he states that the food at this camp is poor, or that we are on war-time rations. We have good, wholesome food, well cooked, and certainly plenty of it. Certainly it does not come up to a first-class hotel, but what does one expect in a military camp? I speak for the whole section of returned soldiers in the battery, when I. say that wo are feeling a wonderful improvement in health since Ave have been in camp, and we are getting exactly the same training as the ordinary territorials. Personally, I wouldn't have missed the camp for anything. Let me take this opportunity of complimenting the R.N.Z.A. instructors at this camp. They are a very efficient body of gentlemen, who know their job, and who go to no end of trouble to make, the battery efficient. Ex Dink.
