'' Again and again 1 have wondered how our soldiers lived and endured under active service conditions in France," said the Rev. I). C. Herron, M.C., when speaking at Manurewa on Sunday. "Strangely enough' they groused when in comfort, but when the mud was up to their thighs and the bread ration was ; a loaf between eight men, they took their hardships with a light heart and a line spirit of selfsacrifice. And strangely enough, said the speaker, turning to the Prime Minister, "they blamed it on to you." "The boys said it was only because they were 'Bill Massey's tourists' that they had left their happy home and struck this trouble'" (Lauahter).
