THE WOUNDED IN BRITAIN

A CHANNEL OF COMMUNICATION. New Zealanders who would like to have relatives or Friends among tlio wounded in Britain visited are invited to get into touch with the ChurcluArmy. The Rev. F. W. Wliibley, vicar of Weber, Hawke's Bay, who is the Chnrcli Army secretary in New Zealand, writes as follows:—

"A new department of Church Army work has arisen in consequence of being in touch with so many wounded men. Many requests are received to visit those who have no friends near, or are perhaps too poor to take a long journey. Such visits revealed the fact that numbers of disabled men wero cut off from thoir friends. Therefore the enclosed announcement was made in the Home pacers, and I am asking you to kindly reproduce it in yoiir widely-read paper so that if anyone in New Zealand would like to communicate by letter or cable to the Church Army Headquarters t3ieir wounded or sick friends would bo visited and letters written from the hospital or convalescent home to those inquiring:— • "The Church Army, friends of the Wounded—Have you a relative or friend returned wounded from the front who is in a convalescent home too far away for you to visit personally? If so, the Church Army would be pleased to find a friend to go in your stead, to visit and cheer him, and would keep you posted iis to his condition, etc. Write dearly regiment, rank, name, and present address. Captain Carter, Secretary, Church Army Headquarters, So Bryaustone Strest, London, W."
