MILITARY TITLES.
Sir, —I notice that a certain Captani W. H. Hawkins is being largely boomed by the N.Z. Alliance as a lecturer, etc. Surely the badges oi rank and honour in our Expeditionary Forces need not to be dragged around the country as an advertising, medium for any particular party or business ? There must be thousands of returned men who would be greatly disgusted ifl former good comrades werp to make personal and business capital out ‘of purely war titles ; so why the “Captain” in these civilian days ? FORMER ACTING TROOPER.
