A PROUD OFFICER
GENERAL GODLEY ON NEW . ZEALAND. lii a letter General Godley has written to the Defence Minister occurs the following passage:— • . "You may be fairly assured that it was not only the gallantry of the New Zealand troops and such leadership and administration as those who have been, privileged to command them have been able to provide '.hat have made the New Zealand Expeditionary Eorce eo conspicuously successful, but also all that has been done for vs 'in New Zealand in the regular and ample provision, of drafts and their training and the gener-. ous supply of money and support in every wny. No one c'f (.he Allies or Dominions will have a prouder record to look back on than New Zealand, and for myself I can only say that to have had the honour and privibge of commanding such a force throughout the greatest war in history will Ix> for all my life one of my proudest recollections. "One feels now that it is the widows and prplians of those who have so gallantly fallen nnd the i.naimed and mutilated soldiers who claim our first attention, and I am very glad to realise how much you are , doiny for'all such in New Zealand."
