Ngvr And The Returned

Soldiers' League

ALTHOUGH members of the NGVR still cannot officially join the RSSAILA, correspondence is still passing between the New Guinea branch of the League and the League. The NG branch has been advised that the case for the New Guinea Volunteer Rifles will be submitted when the Annual Federal Congress meets in November and that a ruling will then be given.

In the meantime, all applications by members of the NGVR are being ac cepted by the New Guinea branch and applicants are regarded as members.

Membership of the New Guinea branch now totals 161 —a number that is regarded as satisfactory from the branch’s point of view. This does not' include those who have applied for membership and who are still members of the Forces and have pot paid their subscriptions.
