ROBERTS' TRIBUTE TO HIS ARMY
[N.Z. Press Association. —Copyright.}
LONDON, December 4
Lord Roberts declares that he will never forget the noble work of the colonials, or the way all branches of the service performed their task.
Their record was absolutely unique in the annals of war, inasmuch as without rest for a year, regardless of weather, frequently in rags, and often bootless (time not permitting of a refit), they were continually fightino: invisible enemies and marching at incredible speed enormous distances. They endured the greatest hardships without a murmur, maintained the utmost cheerfulness, and exhibited conspicuous humanity.
