FURLOUGH FOR MIDDLE EAST SOLDIERS
Sir,—Your correspondent, “Soldier’s Wife,” appears to be unduly pessimistic about the risk incurred in travelling from the Middle East to New Zealand. It is very slight, compared with the risk to war-weary men who are sent into action without a thoroughly recuperative rest and furlough. Incidentally, neither “Wake Up, Mothers’’ nor previous, correspondents on this subject especially mentioned New Zealand in connexion with . a furlough. That, however, should be left for each man to decide for himself, after a certain length of service. Your correspondent’s husband is entitled to speak for himself—not for every member of our forces in Africa.—Yours, etc., FAIR PLAY. May 29. 1943.
