“A Precious Heritage”
“It is a precious heritage and one which we must teach our young people to appreciate,” said Major J. B. Mawson, M.C., when speaking of the tradition of Scotland at a banquet held by .the pipe bands of Christchurch. Major Mawson said that one of the most valuable features about the formation of the new New Zealand Scottish Regiment was the way it was bringing the Scottish community together in a common effort. Scots generally were learning to appreciate more the. traditions they held, and the establishment of the new regiment had caused a revival of interest in Scottish history.
