FEW SOLDIERS MENTALLY SICK
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, March 4. A recent inquiry by the Dominion executive of the New Zealand R.S.A. revealed that up to the present only 34 service men returned from the present war, including several voluntary patients, had been sent to mental hospitals. This number of mentally sick out of more than 3000 returned sick and wounded personnel is less than 1 per cent. Jaken over the whole of the forces the percentage is fractional; indeed far less than the normal civilian ratio in the male population.
