COMING HOME
FORESTRY UNIT MEN The Bay of Plenty will .soon be able to welcome home those, men who have been serving with the Forestry Units in England during the past three, years. All married men of the 11th, 1 !th and I.7th Coys are we.li on their way, with the exception of some of the senior officers: Those men who married in England—and there are quite a number of them —are slaying behind, while the single, men left England to operate as a mobile unit overseas. Cnpt. Keith Tunnielifl'e of Kot.oma writes from Algeria to say that they have already commenced cutting timber brought from the Atlas motmtJiins. over a KM) miles from their base. As there i.s not much timber in Algeria they expect to be on the move again before long. Tile men of the New Zealand Forestry Division proved their worth in England, and were also very popular with the people among whom, they lived —the number of marriages- is sufficient testimony ! A large number of friends and wellwishers was left behind when the New Zealanders sailed for home and tax North. Africa.
