The Gazette notes National Breweries Ltd issued a booklet for 275 returning employees detailing actions to aid reintegration. Employees received leave, reinstatement in full time roles, medical exams, retirement eligibility, continuity of service, vacation pay, and dependents’ allowances after two years. The company also employed 495 other veterans, with 105 First Great War veterans among them.
