NEEDED

109 RECRUITS REQUIRED AT ONCE

' District Headquarters has naked Wellington City to supply a further 50 men to make up 'Wellington district's shortage for the Fifteenth Reinforcements. These extra men must ho ready to $o into' camp' by Tuesday next, May 2. The City is already '16 men short for the Sixteenth Infantry' Roinforcoments, which are being called up for May 2, so No. 5 Group (Wellington City and Suburbs) has. to find another 109. lit men for the Infantry within the next few days. This is n fairly big undertaking, seeing that the Fifteenth Reinforcements, which have already boon in camp three weeks, are' still short of infantrymen.
