Byrd Expedition
New Zealanders’ Part ULL credit to the New Zealand members for the part they played in the Antarctic Expedition is given by Admiral Richard Byrd in a radio message he has transmitted to the Prime Minister (Right Hon. Sir Joseph Ward). The message is in reply to greetings forwarded by Sir Joseph Ward, and runs as follows :-"All members of the expedition join in thanking you for your thoughtful and hospitable radio. It is fitting at this time that I should tell you that the New Zealand members of the expedition have done very splendid work, and I wish to give them their share of the eredit for the work which was accomplished in the face of hazards and great difficulty. This is only another one of the many instances where this expedi tion owes the people of New Zealan’ an everlasting debt of gratitude."
