SERVICE OVERSEAS

additional enrolments IN WAIRARAPA. GOOD RESPONSE FROM SMALLER CENTRES. District enrolments in the Special Military Force have now reached the satisfactory total of 346. The response to the appeal by the Government for more volunteers for the second and Third Echelons is meeting with generous support throughout the Wairarapa recruiting area. A particularly interesting aspect of the enrolments is the ready response from the smaller centres such as Martinborough, Greytown, •and Featherston. The response from Masterton is not as free as it was for the First Echelon, but it is expected that more enrolments will be received soon. The following additional men have enrolled at the Masterton Deence Office for service overseas:— Messrs W. S. Montgomery (Carterton); J. McDonald (Featherston); T. J. Nicol (Martinborough); G. R. Coleman I Martinborough); J. D. Mclsaac (Tinui); D. L. Heinz (Greytown); D. Heath (South Island); J. H. A. Lloyd (Kahutara); G. S. . Brice (Martinborough). FIRST ECHELON. OFFICERS APPOINTED. Included among the officers appointed to the First Echelon of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force are Captain J. F. Fuller, Assistant Director of Dental Services, New Zealand Dental Corps, and Lieutenant H. S. Budd (both of Masterton) posted to the 19th (Wellington) Battalion.
