THIRD ECHELON COMPLETES THE DIVISION
\ "i THEN the units of the 3rd Echelon leave New Zealand at the end of their period of training, the Main Body of the 2nd New Zealand Division will be complete. After that all units leaving the Dominion will be reinforcements to keep the Division to full fighting strength in the field. Men of the 3rd Echelon are at present going into the three mobilisation camps -Trentham, Burnham, and Papakura. Ngaruawahia will no longer be used as a training centre for Artillery units. These will in future go to Papakura, which will also be the training centre for all Maori. reinforcements. As the 3rd Echelon will do its training during the winter months very few officers or men will be under canvas. The new huts at Trentham have been completed and were ready for the men when théy entered camp. Officers of the infantry battalion will be under canvas, but only until their permanent huts are ready. Hutments which saw service in the last war and many in the older parts’ of Trentham have been reconditioned and now house various training units and reinforcements. Everything was ready in the camps to receive the various units of the 3rd Echelon. Before going all the men had been X-rayed and were able to go immediately into the organisation and training.
