SMALL CONSIDERATION.
FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS
Trooper A. M. Hutton, who returned to Dannevirke from the front, lieu I an experience at Auckland that shows the small conscideratrtin that some people have for the wounded soldier. Not knowing where the railway station was when they stepped off the Rotorua. Troopers Hutton and Murphy asked a badgering expressman. to take their kits. They were surprised when they walked on the platform about a stone’s throw from the ship's side, the man carrying their kits beside them. He had not used bis veh'clo, and when asked Ins i liarge said as they were soldiers ho would only take 2s each ! The two Dannevirke soldier' paid up. but ii did not sooth their feelings when they looked at the man that bad robbed tbcMii, and saw that lie was just jin young end stalwart as they were, and should have been in uniform. The conduct of the Auckland expressman is in marked contrast to that <V a Dannevirke carrier who took tin' returned soldiers’ kit to Mangatera, and refused to make a charge.
