OUR 'HUT' AT SLING.

The " hut " or our New Zealand boys at Sling is probably the finest, largest and best of all the 70 YM.C.A. huts on Salisbury Plain. It is large enough to~ serve effectively the whole of the . 5000 New "Zealanders in camp there. Its concert hall will seat over 1000. In addition there are officers1 rooms, a quiet room, reading and writing room, games room with billiard and ping pong tables, and a canteen. In the writing room 13,000. sheets of paper and 5000 envelopes are used every week ; and in one night as much as £13 worth/of stamps have been sold. It is practically under the control of Mrs Mylrfca, whose devotion to the cause of the New Zealanders is unique- She is the widow of the late Colonel Mylrea, who gave his life for the Empire at Ypres,
