"OUR PAPER SOLDIERS."
A DIGGER GALLIPOLI CONTROVERSY. Writing to the Christchurch Sun In regard to the Sir lan Hamilton-Keith Murdoch controversy, E- Gregory, late of the A.1.F., states: "It is rather puzzling to many of we rankers who were only a.ble to serve our country with rifle,, that a newspaper correspondent, admittedly of no military ability, should have been able to seize up the situation ns well as at least one of the Gallipoli 'war' correspondents was able to. We also wonder where this 'war' - correspondent got the pull that enabled him to squash the Peninsula campaign and how Hamilton and Birdwood not only won, but also retained the confidence of the Anzacs, if they were so deplorably incompetent, as some of our paper soldiers would represent them to Be. I think, sir, we in New Zealand have much to be thankful for in that our papers generally are run decently, and in the interests of. the public as a whole, and that political considerations cut little ice,"
