FINE FIGHTERS
DOMINION FORCES NEW ZEALAND TROOPS MR CHURCHILL’S TRIBUTE (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 5 Addressing the New Zealand troops in Britain, the Prime Minister, Mr Winston Churchill, said:— “ We are now bearing the accumulated weight of the enemy’s malice and tyranny, but we do not feel overweighted by it. “ When you first arrived four months ago a comparatively small enemy might have wrought havoc before they were finished off, but now we have the most powerful armies; and, if, as some people think, a bad man is inclined to try his venture, I feel sure we shall give a good account of ourselves.
“We do not feel lonely when our sons from the Dominion overseas—where they breed the finest fighters—come here or go to other parts of the Empire to bear a part in this the greatest of all wars we have ever fought.
“ None has been nobler or more righteous than this, and from none shall we emerge ‘with a greater sense of duty done.”
