FINANCIAL RIGHTS RETAINED
Soldier’s Wife In Armed
Forces
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, October 27. An assurance that the wife of a soldier retained her financial rights as a wife if she herself enlisted for service in the Armed forces was given by the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones, in reply to an inquiry tonight. “A soldier’s wife serving in the Armed forces is entitled as a right to continue to draw a dependent’s allowances for which she is ordinarily eligible,” said the Minister. “She has this right in the same way as she would have if working in civilian employment or the Public Service. Eligibility for the allowance payable to the wife of a soldier is not withheld because the wife is also in the Armed forces.”
