NEW ZEALAND DIGGERS
SYDNEY'S ENTHUSIASM •‘AN UNFORGETTABLE THING” (By Telegraph—Press A««o*iaiton) % AUCKLAND, Monday •* The tremendous, real and affectionate enthusiasm with which the New Zealanders were greeted was an unforgettable thing.’ said BrigadierGeneral H. W. Lloyd, a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council, who arrived on the Aorangi today. ** It was not merely the cheering of the people in the streets.” he added. ” The whole populace took your men to their hearts. That enthusiasm went to show how Anzac Day is losing its sectional appeal over there. Altogether it has become rather like the standard which the two countries will bear as they march together into the future. It made one realise last month how closely we are bound up with each other.” He added that the deportment of the New Zealanders on and off parade was magnificent.
