MOBILE CANTEEN
FOR NEW ZEALANDERS IN BRITAIN. HIGH COMMISSIONER TAKES DELIVERY. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 9 a.m.) LONDON, June 28. The New Zealand High Commissioner, Mr W. J. Jordan, took delivery of a mobile canteen which the New Zealand War Services Association purchased from the British Y.M.C.A. at a cost of £4OO. The canteen will be attached to the New Zealand Y.M.C.A. unit, under the Field Secretary, Mr George Briggs, who accompanied the Anzacs to Britain. The canteen will be accompanying the troops on route marches and at manoeuvres. It was delivered outside New Zealand House and the traffic was held up while Mr Jordan inspected the canteen. Mrs Percy Chapman, wife of the Test cricketer, and daughter of the New Zealander, Mr T. H. Lowry and sister to Mr Tom Lowry, handed cups of tea to Mr Jordan and numbers of New Zealanders who are on leave in London. Mrs Chapman later drove the canteen to the New Zealander's camp, where it is hoped to build a fleet of canteens. Both Mr and Mrs Chapman are then expected to join the New Zealand unit.
