WAR MEMORIAL PLAQUES.
FINAL REMINDER TO RELATIVES. Recently, a notification was published that the Impe.fial Government were issuing Memorial Plaques and Scrolls together with a letter from His Majesty, on account of those members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force who have died since being discharged from, the Forces, provided the death took place on or before August 31, 1928, and that it was the result of war service. The Government has now received a despatch stating that the Memorial Plaque Factory will be closed as soon as the outstanding demands have been dealt with. In the circumstances, the Defence Department is forwarding to the United Kingdom a final list of applications, and this will include all those received by the Department on or before August 26. Therefore the relatives of the deceased soldiers should not delay communicatirg with Base Records Office, Wellington, relative their claim to receive Memorials. Subsequent to August 26 all applications of this kind will be declined, and the relatives of ex-soldiers will not have cause to blame the New Zealand Defence Department if their neglect means to them the loss of the beautiful Memorials.
