REMEDIAL CAMP
CLOSING ANNOUNCED (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Aug. 10. One of the effects of the recentlyannounced reorganisation of the army has been the closing of the remedial training camp at. a well-known provincial tourist resort. Some of the members of the staff have been demobilised and others have gone to other appointments. The camp, which is established on a racecourse, will be used for a new military purpose.
The camp grew'out of an experiment started in 1940 with recruits in training at Papakura. As the experiment developed and proved its value, a separate establishment was set up at the beginning of last year, and since then hundreds of men who had been medically graded II because of disabilities had received training and remedial treatment designed to bring them up to Expeditionary Force standard, or at least to make them completely fit for home defence duties.
