Soldiers’ Pay
Allotment System REGULATIONS EXPLAINED. SUMS BANKED FOR SINGLE MEN. “There seems to be some misconception of the regulations operating whereby soldiers are required to 1 allot portions of their pay,” said the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones. The Minister said it had been decided that a minimum allotment of 2s. a day when in New Zealand and 4s. 6d. a day when overseas be made, and arrangements had been made whereby, in the case of single men with no dependants, these moneys are lodged to a Post Office Savings Bank account. “In certain specific cases,” said Mr. Jones, “an unmarried soldier may desire that the moneys be paid to a near relative or to a source other than a Post Office account, and if this desire is indicated on the allotment form which every soldier is required to fill
in, due consideration will be given to each case. In all such cases the allotments must be made to duly accredited persons.” In the matter of remittances to soldiers overseas of moneys that they have allotted and continue to allot to persons in New Zealand the procedure to be adopted is the same as that for any overseas remittances for commercial or other purposes.
