ANZAC DAY.
WREATHS ON TURKISH GRAVES.
(Per Press Association). WELLINGTON, March 14. As a result of a letter from an exserviceman, the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association has communicated with Major-General B. O. Freyberg suggesting that during Anzac Day wreaths should bp deposited upon the graves of Turkish soldiers who fell during the Gallipoli campaign, and that it would be most appropriate if the Second A.I.F. were tcy co-operate with the N.Z.E.F. in this tribute.
Anzac Day, 1940, being the twentyfifth anniversary of the Anzac landing, it is considered there could be no more fitting occasion for such, a gesture.
