She requests that soldiers who have completed their service be allowed to return home and not be replaced by new recruits in the 18-26 age group. Mrs. Davie emphasizes the importance of considering the impact on soldiers like her husband who have completed their education and whose future opportunities may be affected by prolonged military service.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
