DAY AT PORTSMOUTH
TALKS WITH NEW ZEALANDERS. (Received This Day, 10.35 a.m.) LONDON. July 13. Continuing his tour, Mr Fraser inspected a parade on Nelson’s flagship, the Victory, at Portsmouth, including two Wrens from New Zealand. Mr Fraser also chatted with three New Zealand trainees at the Royal Naval Barracks, attended a church parade of British sailors and shook hands with each member of a large gathering of New Zealand members of the Fleet Air Arm. After lunching at Portsmouth with the Commander-in-Chief, Sir William James, Mr Fraser visited a New Zealand patient in a naval hospital and also two New Zealand sappers who are inmates of the Royal Alexandra Hospital at' Cosham. He told a group of New Zealanders that he was informed that no troops in Greece and Crete were more courageous, enterprising and efficient than the New Zealanders. People in New Zealand had had a trying time, but were upholding the honour of their country and the Empire and were determined to do everything possible to defeat the worst tyranny that had ever threatened the world.
