The Colonel’s Message

May 1 congratulate Gnr. Mist and all concerned with the pro-; duction of this journal and add a i warning to all ranks re behaviour j “As now ye will find a man among ye taking notes and see your deeds in print. ' Some really clever suggestions were forwarded in the Title Competition, the first prize has been decided- as long week-end leave with a trip to Wellington. Second prize, a walk back with Gnr. McAvoy if he can be found. > With the talent available in the unit, Observation Post will provide both a humorous and serious record of the activities of the Regiment during this critical period in the history of our beautiful little country. Send your lines and sketches along boys, and give the paper every assistance. It is hoped to increase the size and scope of the paper similar to the publication Dial Sight of the last war. The unit is fortunately in possession of the blocks and records of this paper and can oblige the veterans with any reproduction desired. To the hundreds of old gunners from the 2nd Brigade, the 4th, sth and 6th Batteries, and in particular our old commanders Lieut.Colonel G. Lyon. M.C., and LieutColonel McQuarrie, D. 5.0.. M.C.. Greetings. I can assure you the Regiment is fighting ■ fit,. has excellent weapons, can shoot, and now. only wants an opportunity to take some of the ■ knobs off Mr Watt ienobbie. . All the best ..for Observation Post, may you find the line, first round, with each series.’A- >
