Soldiers' Wills
It will be of general interest to soldiers to learn that the New Zealand Law Society decided some time ago that solicitors in any patt of the Dominion should be recommended to prepare wills for soldiers frée of cost, and soldiers accordingly need not hesitate to take advantage of this service. The Disttict Law Societies in whose terfitory the various Military Camps are situated have arranged, at the réquest of the Returned Soldiers’ Association, for solicitors to attend the Camps on céftain evenings each week, and not only prepare wills but give free legal advice to those soldiers who desire it. At Trentham Mobilisation Camp, for example, a Hut has been provided by the Military Authorities for the use of the Wellington District Law Society, and this Hut is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. A very considerable amount of work has already been carried out at this Hut, which is now closed over the Christmas period but will re-open on Tuesday, January 16. At Ngaruawahia, members of the Hamilton District Law Society attended camp on a number of occasions and prepared some hundreds of wills, and similar service has been rendered at Burnham and elsewhere.
