DOMINION OFFICERS
RETURN FROM DUNTROON
POSTS SOUGHT IN N.Z.E.F. (Per Press Associiilion.) WELLINGTON, this day. A party of 24 New Zealanders who have been training for military service at the Duntroon Military College arrived at Wellington yesterday. Fourteen have returned to New Zealand for service and 10 on Chrismas vacation.
Of the 14 who graduated, five did the normal three-year course and nine took a special course extending over six months. Those who graduated will be posted to positions with the forces, and some are hoping to be placed with the second echelon of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force. All of the young men appeared keen on the career they have chosen and looked the right type for officers in the New Zealand forces. They are all bronzed and fit, having taken a prominent part in the sporting activities of the college.
