SOLDIER IDENTIFIED
FINDING OF WATCH WAR GRAVES DEPARTMENT’S WORK Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. The article which appeared in the “Evening Post” with photographs of the Rotherham watch found in France, which led to the finding of the owner of the timepiece, Mr. E. Sullivan, of Lower Plutt. and the identification of the soldier’s remains, was reprinted in the Home papers. A letter received by Sir Maui Pomare, Minister in Charge of the War Graves Division of the Department of Internal Affairs, from Major-General Sir Fabian Ware, vice-chairman of the Imperial War Graves Commission, states: —• / “The commission deeply appreciates your co-operation and that of the ‘Evening Post,’ and the care and thoroughness with which their inquiry has been handled. The graves in question are accepted as those of Taylor and Anderson, and the headstones will be erected accordingly.” “It is gratifying to know,” said Sir Maui, “that the work done by the War Graves Department is rendering quite good service, and this, I see, is recognised by the Imperial War Graves Commission.”
