PRESENTED TO N.Z. GOVERNMENT.
PICTURE OF ANZAC LANDING. London, Nov. 7. A picture of the landing at Anzac by tlie well-known artist, Mr. Frank Dickson, of the Royal Society of British Artists, is a centre of attention all day to crowds of khaki and civilian onlookers. It is on show in the window of the High Commissioner's Office, 413, Strand. The picture lias been presented to the New Zealand Government by Mrs. H. G. Black, the widow of Captain Black, who died in the Gallipoli campaign. The picture is almost brutally realistic in its men dead and dying'in the foreground, and the horrid heights overhanging the narrow beach seem more than ever a lowering precipice impossible of ascent. The picture more insistently brings home to the civilian public the terrific task our men faced, not merely in seizing that sheer shore, lint in holding on during those long heart-breaking months of 1915.
