NEW ZEALANDERS ON NIGHTLY PATROLS
(Official War Correspondent)
New Zealand Headquarters, Aug. 18. Although they have had no major clash with the enemy since the second attack on Ruweisak Ridge the New Zealanders have been in close contact with nightly patrols which seek out his positions, and sometimes capture a few prisoners. Attack guns and artillery have been far from idle. The quiet of the night is frequently broken by exchanges of shells and during daylight air raids continue on a reduced scale. Behind the lines the scene is one of constant activity as resources are built up and positions improved. Despite the unavoidable discomfort of their living conditions the troops are looking fit and well.
