VOLUNTARY AIDS UNDER NEW CONTROL
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, August 19. It has been decided that Red Cross Voluntary Aids serving in New Zealand and on hospital ships will in future come under the control of the Army Medical Service and will no longer be incorporated with the Women’s War Service Auxiliary, the Director-Gen-eral of Army Medical Services, Brigadier F. T. Bowerbank, told the annual conference of the New Zealand Red Cross Society today. “This is only a recent decision and will later extend to the Middle East,” he said. “They will be known as the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps Voluntary Aids and will wear the New Zealand Army Medical Service gilt badge on the breast. A Red Cross brassard will be issued and worn where necessary. They will also receive normal medical Red Cross identity cards.
