TRIBUTE TO SOLDIERS.
Sir, —I would like, through your columns, to express my pleasing impressions on my first visit to Burnham Camp, especially the Y.M.'G.A. department. The young men in charge there were very obliging indeed, showing several of us around the various recreation departments, etc. A concert given by the Ashburton Harmonica Band was in progress, and I must say the boys were a wonderful audience; a very fine type of .young manhood, with a touch of the old Anzac here and there. My deepest impression was the camaraderie so characteristic of New Zealanders when you saw the highest and lowest of ranks mingle with one another as man to man. Surely this spirit of our Democracy must and will prevail in the end.
So, good on vou Burnham soldiers JUST A HOMIE.
