LONGER LEAVE
Soldiers Who Were Due In Camp This Week
“As a result of further consideration of the leave question, new arrangements are being made which will give these soldiers a longer period in their homes,” said the Minister of Defence, Mr. Jones, last night, referring to soldiers who are now on leave, and who were due back in camps this week.
“New train and travel arrangements are in hand and the timetables will be distributed to army area officers and railway stationmasters 'by ' Wednesday,” the Minister added. “Soldiers are advised to confirm their departure time and date by inquiring from the nearest army area officer or a stationmaster on or after Wednesday. So that the fullest advantage can be taken of this extra leave, it is essential in the soldiers’ own interests that personnel should travel in accordance with the new timetable. This extension of leave applies only to those who were due to travel back to camps this week.”
