LETTERS OF THANKS
RECEIVED BY PATRIOTIC BOARD FROM MEN SERVING OVERSEAS. PARCELS APPRECIATED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. During the past few weeks a considerable number of letters have been received by the National Patriotic Fund Board from New Zealanders serving overseas, expressing appreciation of parcels. “I have found that the great thing about being a New Zealander is that one is never forgotten,” says a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, “and it warms one’s heart and makes one realise just what a wonderful place New Zealand is.” He was acknowledging the receipt of .one of the special parcels of tobacco sent to all New Zealanders in detached units at Christmas time. Other letters also praised these parcels, mentioning that they were particularly acceptable because of rationing of tobacco in England. One letter pays a tribute to the Anzac Club established in Halifax, Canada, from funds provided by the Australian Comforts Fund and the New Zealand National Patriotic Board. Money spent on t-fiis club, he said, never would be wasted. Letters of appreciation have also come from Fiji.
