<i43>-- •■- GENERAL CODLEY INSPECTS ENGLISH HOSPITALS. Per Press Association. Wellington, August 24. In a letter to Hon. J. Allen, General Godley states tlmt when at Home, lie visited Hornchurch, whore there are a number of New Zealander.s in hospital, and found everything gomg on very well. He went to see tintraining establishment on Salisbury Plain, and found the men very com fortably located in huts. General Godley visited the New Zealand hostel that was recently established for men on furlough from the front. For this purpose he states that three corner houses have been taken in Russell Square, near to headquarters, and the hostel should prove a great boon to the men. This is the hostel for which the New Zealand Government recently sent ißome £-1000. The convalescent depot at Epsom was also inspected by General Godley, who reports that he found it an excellent institution, well managed by an Imperial officer, Colonel Kilkelly. Some huts had been set apart at Epsom for the New Zealand soldiers, but General Godley sltates that there is some doubt about our retaining them, as they may all be wanted for the Canadians. In that case the New Zealanders will get, instead, a convalescent depot at Hornchurch. General Godley expresses the opinion that small convalescent home.; such as they had' in Egypt are not necesteary or desirable, as they will get much better results by having their efforts concentrated and co-ordi nated. He went over the convalescent hospital at Brocklehurst, and thinks that with the two hospitalsone at Walton and the other at Brocklehurst—and the convalescent homo at Hornchurch, together with the training establishment at Salisbury Plain, there is every reason t< believe that the men will be well looked after, and that the interest and co-ordination of the forces will be well maintaineds by headquarter, in London.
