LIABILITY FOR SERVICE
WAR PRISONER ON PAROLE There vvere unusual features in an appeal before the Armed Forces Appeal Board in Christchurch when Empire Rubber Mills applied for exemption from service of Keith Le Cren, a marine . engineer and a prisoner of war on parole. Le Cren had made application for enrolment in the second division of the general reserve under the National Service Emergency Corps. He had become a prisoner of war when the steamer Holmwood was sunk by enemy action early , last year. Before being released from the raider he signed an agreement not to undertake military action against Germany. The War Cabinet - lipd advised L,e Cren that men placed in his position would not be sent overseas, and would be allowed to serve only in non-combatant duties, and, if drawn for overseas service, may be required to perform full-time non-combatant service with the home defence units.
