Wreaths -made from New Zealand native flowers are shortly to be forwarded to England in ice by the Returned Soldiers’ Association . (reports the Auckland “Star”). It is intended to have them placed on the cenotaph in Whitehall, London, on Anzac and Armistice Days next year. The association intends to offer the privilege of collecting flowers to the schools in the various districts in rotation, believing that this would be a suitable way of impressing on the younger generation the sacrifices made bv their fathers in the Great War. The Auckland branch of the association is at present making arrangements for local schools to undertake the touching task . AU that will be wanted from each district will be a small quantity of the choicest native flowers, berries, or foliage to incorporate in New Zealand’s wreath.
