Before leaving, , the kind-hearted sen.ior sergeant headed a subscription' list among, the men at the station at the time, and the young.'couple left with at least, a few shillings in their . pocket to buy food en route. “I’m a New Zealander remarked the husband with an ..optimistic tone; “and- a .New Zealander will find work somewhere.”
