BRITISH
SOLDIERS Holiday For Less. Than Penny A Day
Silversands Leave Centre,
Mombasa, Feb. 1.
For less than one penny a day, British soldiers in this part of the world can spend a holiday in one of the Army's most exotic leave camps-shaded by palm trees on the edge of the Indian Ocean.
It is called Silversands Leave Centre. Run as a leave centre and also as a transit camp by the Army for several years, it was taken over last August by NAAFI, spruced up and made even less suggestive of everyday army life.
