INDIGENT EX-SOLDIERS.
Reference to the question of the burial of indigent ex-soldiers was made in the report presented at the X.Z.R.S-A. conference in Wellington yesterday. “ As the result of representations it has now been definitely arranged that, in the event of the death of a destitute ex-soldier, application for burial should be made promptly to the nearest Registrar of Pensions,” stated the report. “ Indigence must be satisfactorily proved to the Registrar; in the case of a married N.Z.E.F. soldier the proved indigence of the wife is sufficient, but in the case of overseas soldiers evidence of indigence of the wife and near relatives must also be presented. Therefore where indigence is proved, in every instance there is absolutely no need for an ex-service man to be buried as a pauper.”
