THE SICK AND WOUNDED IN ENGLAND.

That the members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces who are invalided to England are the objects of the warm attention of the High Commissioner has been frequently mentioned of late. The kindly interest which Mr Mackenzie is taking in those patients will be greatly appreciated in the dominion. The High Commissioner, in a letter to MiMartin Wills, of South Dunedin, respecting a visit paid by him to the latter’s eon, Lance-corporal Wills, writes: “I am attending to the personal comfort of all our men, and I endeavour to visit each soldier in hospital. In this I am assisted by my daughter. I usually have a good chat with the men, and there are few that I do not know something about or about their friends. To visit them is the least that can be done for our brave lads who have come forth and done so much for them. I hope the patient will soon bo well, and that he may, to your great joy, be restored to you later on. “A good number of our men are finding accommodation in the Now Zealand Hospital at Walton-on-Thamcs, -which is well equipped and beautifully situated. My own boy, who recently came from the Dardanelles, is there.”
