NEW ZEALAND’S FINE WAR RECORD
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, August 17. “I have no hesitation in saying that of all the British countries overseas New Zealand has a record second to none in her contribution of men to the fighting forces, to primary production and to the making of munitions within her capacity, of which she has a right to be proud,” said Sir Harry Batterbee, High Commissioner for the United Kingdom, when addressing the Auckland Rotary Club today. “The prowess of the New Zealand Division, pakeha and Maori alike, wherever it has fought will bring undying glory to this Dominion. I have a son in the Royal Marines now serving in the Middle East and he has told me both of their fighting qualities and of their kindness and good comradeship.”
