Since coming to the war the N.Z. Artillery has lost some of its most gallant and capable officers. The death of Major Victor Rogers removes from among them one of the old hands who was greatly liked, both for his bravery and his ability. His father, I am told, is a clergyman in Timaru. When the war brolco out he volunteered to join as a gunner with a Christchureh battery, but the formation of a brigade resulted in his obtaining a commission. He sailed with the Main Body of the Expeditionary Force, a (id served through the Gallipoli campaign, going away only once—to bring over the Fifth Battery from Egypt. He did good service on the Peninsula, and got his battery safely away at the evacuation. He was in the lighting in which the New Zealanders took part in France and Belgium, being with the guns in the Battles of the Somme, Messines and Passehendaele. During these operations he was twice wounded, yet he retained his nerve to the last. On the day of his death—the Bth instant—lie attended a court-martial at Divisional Headquarters, and jokingly remarked that he had outlasted all the officers except one, who had the devil's own luck. .That same evening he was going back to his battery along a road when he was killed by a' high explosive shell. Death was instantaneous. As he did not return to his battery in the evening, enquiries were made, and it was ascertained that the body of an officer had been taken to a dressing station not far away. A visit to the station revealed the circumstances under which he had lost his life. His excellent work with the N.Z. Artillery had gained him the Distinguished Service Order. Generally he was recognised as a fine soldier, and he was popular with and respected by all who knew him.
