The Mayor of Cambridge, Mr Edgar James, in farewelling the soldiers of whom the borough is so proud, expressed the sentiments of the citizens who wished to honour those among the first to enlist. Mr R. Newcombe, president of the Returned Soldiers’ Association then endorsed the Mayor’s remarks before the Mayoress, Mrs Edgar James, and Miss G .Brann presented every man with a parting gift. Captain T. Wallace, afe behalf of members of the army and air force present, thanked the patriotic committee and others concerned and earned applause by declaring that it was their intention to live up to the tradition New Zealand forces had hitherto created overseas.

Everywhere swayed flags and patriotic shields, and strings of coloured lights added to the brilliance of the scene.
