A London correspondent states that the Western; Daily Mercury publishes the following" appreciation relative to Dominion men: "The New Zealanders will always remember Torquay, where their discharge depot has been fixed. In all" England they could have found no pleasanter jumping'-off place, and though its climate may not be equal in delights to their own lovely North Island, perhaps nowhere in these eloomier seas could anything more like it have been discovered. They have formed many ties of friendship in Devonshire which will survive the departure of the last of them when their ship is ready. At Torquay they have a permanent memorial of their stay -—the remains of six of those 'gentlemen unafraid' who came 12,000 miles to England to die for it. and the cross which marks their resting place. They will take back with them the gratitude of all the English and the respect and affection of the community in which they have been living- these last few months."
