N.Z.E.F. IN PACIFIC
GENERAL GIVES RUGBY CUP
The officer commanding the Third Division, N.Z.E.F., Major-General H. E. Barrowclough, and Mrs. Barrowclough have presented a cup to the division with the object of fostering the game of Rugby football and to promote
a healthy rivalry between the various units of the division. The trophy will be known as the Barrowclough Cup. It is the wish of the donors that as long as the division exists as a military formation: the cup shall be competed for among- the units, and that on its disbandment the cup shall be disposed of as directed by the general officer who is commanding the division immediately before its disbandment. The-donors have suggested that, in giving directions as to the cup's ultimate disposal; the general officer commanding the division at that time should consider the advisability of offering it for annual competition among units of New Zealand's post-war Army in some athletic or military activity.
