IMPROPER USE OF UNIFORMS
FIVE MEN CONVICTED (P.A.) INVERCARGILL, June 9. Several members of the New Zealand military forces at present on leave without pay, and a Home Guardsman were convicted in the Magistrate’s Court to-day on charges of wearing their uniforms, or parts of them, without authority. Four were convicted and ordered to pay costs (10s each) for wearing military greatcoats, and one was fined £1 and ordered to pay costs (10s) for wearing his uniform. Senior-Sergeant W. T. Kelly, who prosecuted, said that action had been taken against the men as a warning to soldiers on leave without pay, and Home Guardsmen, that they were not permitted to wear uniforms unless they were on military duty. Some men had been guilty of using their uniforms to obtain concessions such as travelling concessions, admission to entertainment and so on. The Magistrate (Mr R. C. Abernethy, S.M.) also issued a warning, and said that uniforms must not be worn unless the men were on parade or on military duty.
