RELEASE FROM CAMP ORDERED
The story of how a man who served for three years in the last war and who, according to a direction of the Southland Man-Power Committee (now the Southland Armed Forces Appeal Board), was not to be mobilized and yet eventually found himself in camp was told at a sitting of the board yesterday. The man’s wife appealed for his release from camp on the ground that ill-health and the difficulty of getting labour prevented her from carrying on his business. Mr J. W. Hinchey, secretary of the board, said that when the Man-Power Committee directed that the reservist should not be mobilized it recommended that he should join the National Military Reserve. At that time it was not thought that the reserve would be put inot camp. When the reserve was mobilized the reservist went into camp without making any appeal and had been there since. The camp commandant did not oppose the man’s release. The board ordered that the reservist should be released feom camp,.
