A SENSIBLE PROPOSAL.

An Old Writer, Lavinia, has submitted a proposal, which, I thiiik, is a particular y good idea. She suggests that as _ such a number of L.P. have joined the Expeditionary Forces and Reinforcements, a list of their N.D.P.’s and names should be published. This would lend an additional interest to t e news concerning the forces, and all L.h. would be able to follow the careers of their comrades. It is proposed that the members in our midst might supply the information stating the name, N.D.P., and unit the member belongs to. These details would be published, and those who are interested in the page and its niembers could obtain an almost complete list of those members past and present who are serving their country. _ I have much pleasure in placing this proposal before the L.F., believing it will be taken up by the members, and the information desired supplied to me. If this is done we shall be able to follow the careers of our soldier comrades, and if mentioned in despatches shall know immediately who is referred to. I now leave it to those members who have relations at the front to consider the matter, and ask them to supply the details required, such as; “My brother , Trooper 13 away with the Expeditionary Force now in Egypt,” or First, Second, or Third Reinforcements as the case might be. I shall be pleased to publish such a list if the members supply the material. DOT.
