HOW TO SEND A PARCEL.
Many parents and others are -anxious to know how best to send a parcel for a soldier who is about to leave on a transport. Here arc the official directions: Put his number, •name, company, and Reinforcement on the parcel', and also state who sends the parcel. After all this addressing and labelling, wrap it up in another covering and address it ; to "Capt. F. A.', Bilton, Transport Shipping Office, Wellington," and either rail it or post it. There is no limit to size or weight £ot men about to leave New Zealand,
though most folk send a butter box or! kerosene case. Parcels for men about to leave must reach K Shed the day before the troops embark, and if in doubt when they are about to go on board, send the parcel as soon as -possible. Every parcel for men leaving is carefully manifested and on board the ship conveying the owner from these shores. A copy of the manifest is always kept, and, providing the parcel has reached K Shed in good time, any enquiry re delivery to the transport can be answered. Also mark it "For use on the voyage."
