The French Medaille Militaire has been awarded Sergeant-Major Boats, of Auckland, for distinguished and heroic service at the Front, The 'Hon. Allen goes to Auckland on Friday next to present the decoration to SergeantMajor Boats, on behalf of the French Government.

A London cable, received last night, states that Dr. A. A. Martin, of Palmerston North, died of wounds at the New Zealand Stationary Hospital in France. Dr. Martin was amongst the few in the highest rank of the medical profession in New Zealand. Besides being a brilliant medico he. was an author of repute, his "Surgeon m Khaki" being one of the most popular works on the war. He was wounded just after the battle of the Maine and later was invalided home, but returned to the front about six months a<ro, only to make the supreme sacrifice in the battle of the Somme, where he received the wounds which proved fatal. The Dominion has lost one of its greatest men who has set a noble example bv his whole-hearted sacrifice in the cause of patriotism and humanity. The loss is one that will be deeply deplored throughout the I Dominion.
