Russell stated that ;i normal number oi: soldiers were returning to New Zealand suffering from consumption, but unfortunately there were many instances where consumption developed after the men returned. The Government was now dealing in convalescent homes and hospitals with nearly as irfany discharged soldiers as undischarged.
