SOLDIERS' DISCHARGES
RUMOURS OVERSEAS (0.C.) CHRISTCHURCH. Monday A statement that "disturbing tales had been heard" of men being discharged while still not restored to health and being placed with their families on social security payments was contained in a message of greeting received by the South Canterbury branch of the Returned Services' Association from Brigadier L. M. Inglis. "I hope this is not true," the message continued. "We feel that every soldier who is curable should remain on full pay and allowances until his hospital treatment and convalescence are over. When the medical people have done all they can for him, then his pension should start before he is thrown out on his own." _ It was decided to investigate the rumours.
