'Nearly 14 years after the Battle of Messines, in which he was wounded, Mr ,S. L. Dickey, of Morrinsville, recently, had several pieces of shrapnel removed from his knee, where they had remained because the Army surgeons could not get them out. In reply to h*s claim for refund of hospital and surgeon's expenses, amounting to £7 13s, the Pensions Department has advised that it ’an only refund expenses for eight days in hospital at public hospital rates of 9s a day, and cannot entertain the claim for surgeon’s expenses. The consequence is that, nearly 14 years after the battle, Mr Dickey will be £4 out of -pocket as the result of his wound. The Morrinsville branch of the R.S.A. will probably press the claim further. “Tnn-ol”. makes light work of all polishing jobs. .
