WAKES NEW ZEALAND TROOPS EVERY MORNING.—The band of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (Second Echelon), is the first Colonial band to go to England since the last war. A number of these musicians are, gold medallists and' have all silver instruments. They played on board ship on the way over, made recordings for the 8.8. C., and played for His Majesty the King during a luncheon- when he visited the brigade.- The Musical Director is Lieutenant C. C. E. Miller, from Gore. The reveille is unique, for instead of the bugle, the band parades at 6a.m. and plays a rousing march through the camp.
