DEPENDANTS OF SOLDIERS
Rate Of Allowances An early decision on the request for an increase in the rate of allowances to dependants of soldiers, to conform with recent wage increases in New Zealand, is to be sought from the Minister of Defence by the Dominion executive of the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association. Other questions discussed at a recent meeting of the committee were: — “Frozen” assets in the Great War patriotic and war funds, the question Of veteran officers and warrant officers not receiving the pay commensurate with their ranks, “war loading’ on life insurance policies, and the withholding of the allowances payable to dependants of soldiers who have received punishment for misdemeanours. It was reported that a circular letter to be sent to each member of the forces on return to New Zealand, setting out details of privileges, was being prepared. On Anzac Day members of the Na tional Military Reserve and Home Guard would parade with their respective units, and it was suggested that members in the Home Guard should wear medals and decorations.
