It is rumored that the military authorities have decided to abandon the Rangiotu camp. The announcement made a fortnight ago was that the 3rd and 4th battalions of the NX. Rifle Brigade (Lord Liverpool's Own) would spend six weeks at May Morn, so as to be able to obtain musketry practice at Trentham, and that they would then come on to Rangiotu to complete tlieir field training.
