Headed with the badges of the R.S.A. and New Zealand Forces the message to the men and theii reply immediately follows, thus: —- Take up our work, for as we go To you with failing hands we throw. The torch, be yours to hold it high . . . If ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. The repl3':— Fear not that ye have fought for nought, The torch ye threw to us we caught, Ten million hands will hold it high. And Freedom's Light shall never die, We've learned the lesson that you taught, In Flanders fields. The magazine, which consists of four quarto pages, continues with an article of appreciation of the deeds of the men now fighting with notes of R.S.A. activities and then district notes. These notes brief and brightly written come from cejntres throughout the Dominion giving the men the latest activities of the centres. AH^f?"
