SOLDIERS’ GRAVES
MINISTERS VISIT KARORI. The Minister of Internal Affairs (thq Hon’. G. J. Anderson), the Minister of Defence (Sir R. Heaton Rhodes), MajorGeneral Sir Edward Chaytor, Councillor R. A. AA r right, M.P., and the Government architect (Mr. Campbell) yesterday paid a visit to Karori Cemetery and inspected the soldiers’ graves there. Mr. Anderson told a reporter afterwards that he was delighted to see the state in which the graves were kept. It was a credit, he said, to the City Council and to Mrs. Chatfield and the other ladies who assisted in the beautification of the spot. It would be unnecessary for his Department to make any changes, so well had the work been done. Headstones would be provideel in due course. In the following sentence, which appeared yesterday in a report of remarks by Mr. Andeawu, the word' "three” should have b«*» "twelve”: “The Govern ment was prepared to attend to the graves of all soldiers who died during the time they were in camp, or within three months of the closing of the camps.”
