HOSPITAL VISITORS
Sir _At a recent meeting of the Auckland Hospital Board, an application for visiting facilities for the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Association to the returned soldiers of the 2nd NewZealand Expeditionary Force in hospital was refused. I wonder why? As a returned soldier of 'the Great War arid of the present conflict I would like to see the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force returned diggers allowed the same facilities as their fathers and comrades of the Great War. Everyone endorses the work done by the Returned Services' Association, and whoever visits the young digger, what matter! J am not a member of any association as 1 have done by job without any backslapping and I do not want a badge to wear advertising' "what a good boy am' I." Hundreds of civilians are helping, too, so pleas® do not let us play too much on returned soldiers' -stunts. We give our grateful thanks to the young diggers for a job well done. I hope Mr. i foody will adopt a different attitude to the boys and their visitors. Auckland. Sergeant Daw.
