MEMORIAL SERVICE
LATE MAJOR-GENERAL CHAYTOR. MANY VETERANS ATTEND. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) BLENHEIM, This Day. Veterans of the South African and Great Wars paraded in large numbers at St Luke’s Church, Spring Creek, yesterday to pay tribute to one of their distinguished leaders, the late MajorGeneral Sir Edward Chaytor. Members of the Chaytor family and large numbers of local residents attended a memorial service, the church being inadequate to accommodate the entire congregation. Bishop Hilliard, of Nelson, delivered an appropriate address, in the course of which, alluding to the presence of so many of those who served under Major-General Chaytor, he said nothing finer had emerged from the war than the wonderful spirit of comradeship of the Diggers.
