A ARMY DENTAL SERVICE.
A. ’writer in the London Daily Telegraph remarks on the good work done in New Zealand in establishing a properly recognised dental eorps as part of the army equipment. It was done, he said, in no healf-hearted or niggardly fashion. The British Dental Association, when war broke out, approached the War Offiee with offers of both professional assistance and financial help. They offered to organise a, dental eorps and to provide the motors for its equipment. Bui the offer was refused. The dental hospital which was operating for some months in France a short distance behind the New Zealand lines was the first in the history of British warfare which enabled the men to have their teeth attended to without going down to the base. It was in charge of Captain F. P. Tyjnons, NLZ.M.C., of Christchurch, who was jn Gallipoli until the evacuation.
