TUNNELLING CORPS.
MEN URGENTLY WANTED. Press Association. WELLINGTON, September 29. "We want 77 more trained men for the Engineering Tunnelling Corps," said the Hon. J. Allen to-day, "and 84 other men, not so skilled, to complete the corps. We want these men at once, so that they can go into camp in a .few days' time."
The Minister said that there could be no delay if we were to carry out our obligations. The men will go into training near Auckland. They are to be attached to the Royal Engineers of England, a "crack corps," as a tunnelling company, but they will receive New Zealand rates of pay and pensions. Four officers, so far, have been selected.
