WITH THE NEW ZEALANDERS.

A LETTER FROM EGYPT Mr E. Ball has received a letter from Trooper H. C. Prosser, who left New Zealand with the Main Expeditionary Force, from Egypt dated April 20, in which the writer refers to the contents of some of the letters from New Zealanders in Egypt, which have been published in a number of New Zealand papers, A good deal in these letters are not true, and in Trooper Prosser’s own language some are “very bet” indeed. The letter continues : “At the time of writing we are still dodging about in the sand, and we are full up of it. The flies are something terrible and the heat —well one can’t explain how hot it really is. We have been on the verge ot moving twice now, all the *‘ footpads” have gone, but we are still here. Taking the place altbrough. t it is indeed wonderful, but still I am sure New Zealand is lar ahead of any country we have seen so far. Cairo is altogether beyond a joke, and we won’t be sorry to see the last of it. . . . Have been to a lew race meetings kt since I have been here, but they are “up to putty.” Trooper Prosser concludes by wishing to be remembered to all “ the boys.”
