PROUD OF HEROISM
FORMIDABLE FOE MR. HAMILTON’S PRAISE (P«r Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, this day. “Although the news of the naval engagement in the South Atlantic in which the New Zealand cruiser, H.M.S. Achilles, played such a distinguished part, may cause anxiety in some New Zealand homes, all New Zealanders will feel proud of the heroism and daring of the ship and the men against such a formidable foe,” said the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. Adam Hamilton, last night. “New Zealand owes her very existence to the British Navy and it fills us with pride to learn of an encounter that adds further lustre to the Navy’s already glorious traditions.”
