When the Main Body of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force was encamped on the banks of the Suez Canal in 1915, a. subscription was raised among the members of the Australian and Dominion forces, each man contributing one day's pay, for the erection of a memorial on the site of their camp. Recent information received by the New'Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association from the Minister for Defence, Sir R. Heaton ! Rhodes, is to the effect that the matter is in the hands of a committee in Australia. The committee has £5400 in hand, and the Commonwealth Government has promised to make the sum up to £lO,OOO. A site for the memorial has been presented by the Suez Canal Company, but the final arrangements as to cost and design have yet to be settled. It is hoped the work will be put In hand in the near future*
