N.Z. GUARDS DIVISION
ITS PROPOSED FORMATION,
STATEMENT BY GENERAL .R.USSELL.
Press Association. % .CHRISTCHtRCH. May 15. Questioned regarding the proposed formation of the Dominion Guards Regiment, Sir Andrew Russell stated that the proposal came from an officer in the New Zealand Engineers. The idea, ho understood, was that the proposal should take effect before the end of the war, and that there should he a Guard* Division composed of New Zealand troops for actual service. It was quite impracticable while the war was on, but had'"probably been brought up after the conclusion of hostilities. He did not care to express any opinion upon the proposal, because it was not yet known exactly what tho effect of the League of Nations was going to be, and how it was going to affect tho members of tho Now Zealand Forces. -
