AWAPUNI CAMP
LIKELY TO BE CLOSED. It is likely tiwt llio ambulance reinforcement camp at Awapuni will bo closed ia tho neat future. Tho ambulance- moil will be transferred to Featherstoi: camp, where there is now sufficient room for them owing to the reduction of tho reinforcement quotas. Lait year, when tho reinforcement quota iv'>s relatively high, the Defence authorities required to have over 10,000 men iu camp at ono time, and this meant that both Trentham and Feafcberston wero full without providing for the ambulance men. The number of men in training month by month will bo substantially smaller this year, and in will thus be possible to t;ive the ambulance recruits their training sir, Featherston. The closing of the smaller camp will effect an economy.
