Headquarters, Military District Nol.
Loudon, Ont, , Aug. 24th, 100 7.
To The Editor,
The News,
Seaforth, Ont.
Dear Sir;
Under instructions from Head-
quarters, I am directed to ask your
oo•operation in familiarizing the
public with the proper procedure in
making complaints on behalf of soldiers
and soldiers' relatives. As you are
aware, oomplainteof discharged soldiers
and friends or relatives of soldiers
appear in the newspapers from time to
time, These concern themselves for
the most part with reports of casualties
pay of soldiers, separation allowances
and assigned pay payable to soldiers,
wives and families and kindred sub-
jects. Iu spite of every care and
diligence on the part of those in anti•
ority, such complaints muss be recog-
nized as inevitable and inseparable
from Military operatione on a large
scale. Many of these complaints, no
doubt have some foundation and are
proper sebjeote for investigation. The
District Officer Commending and his
Staff will deal with 9tioil complaints
time causiug delay and areatiug an
unfortunate impression ill the publlo
mind with regard to the manner 111
which those mettere aro dealt with by
the ofliefale concerned.
While it is not desired to attempt to
limit, in auy way, the discretion of
Editors Iu printing complaints winch
they may deem in the public iutereet
to publish, it is desired to eek the it
ao-operation and to have all etioh come
plaints brought immediately to the
attention of the proper authorities
that they may be investigated and giv-
en the aympathetio consideration aitd
prompt Elation whieh they deeerva, It
would be in the public interest if you
would bo good enough, from time, to
see that all such oases of complaint are
referred direct to this District Head-
quarters for iuveetigatiolt. No apooiai
form of address is nooesaary but any
letters addressed to the "Assistant
Adjutant General, District Headquarters
London, Ontario, " will invariably find
their way into the proper hands,
!Moreover, if you will be good enough
to forward immediately to me any well
founded complaints which may have
Coma under your notice, every effort
will be made to deal with them prompt.
ly and thoroughly.
The geographical area of Military
District No r with its Headquarters at
London, Ontario, comprises the coun-
ties of Essex, Kent, Lambton, Elgin,
Middlexaox, Oxford, Waterloo, Welling
ton, Perth, Huron and Bruce in the
Provinae of Ontario, therefore, all
military questions of whatever charac-
ter arising within this part of the Pro-
vince should be referred to rile Dis-
triot Headquarters.
Permit me to thank you in ` advance
for your kindness in giving this matter
whatever publicity you consider in the
public intereet necessary.
