LOSS OF RANK
HOME GUARD OFFICERS' (P.R.) WELLINGTON, this day. At present Home Guardsmen over 30 years of age holding commissions were being called up for service in the ranks of the army, and whatever their qualifications were being given no opportunity of obtaining commissions, said Mr. J. M. Roy (Nat., Clutha) in the House of Representatives yesterday. He gave notice to ask the Minister of Defence whether he would order that such men were retained in the Home Guard until it could be arranged for them to enter an officers’ cadet training unit, where they might have the opportunity of qualifying for commissions in the army.
