CORPORAL E. M. JENNINGS. A tribute to the late Corporal E. M. Jennings, 17th (Ruahine) Company, Wellington Infantry Battalion, Main Force, a son of Mr. W. T. Jennings, M.P. for Taumarunui, is paid by Captain W. E. B. Furby, in a letter to the corporal's father. "Your boy left New Zealand under my charge with the Main Body of the Expeditionary Force," writes Capt. Furby, "and was, I consider, one of my best men—one of the best of a particularly good platoon—and his conduct aa a soldier both in Egypt and in Gallipoli was exemplary. He participated in the Anzac landing, actions on Walker's Ridge, Krithia, Cape Helles, and defence of Quinn's Post, where hia bravery and soldierly qualities earned him his finst promotion to corporal. During the night of August 3rd he was sleeping in the bomb-proof support of No. 5 sub-post at Quinn's, with hia nead alongside the entrance to the communication trench, when an enemy hand grenade, reaching the flro trench, rolled down the communication and exploded near his head, inflicting injuries which caused his death at the field hospital a few hours after. He was injured while asleep, and never knew what hit him. We were all sorry to lose such a good comrade, and I may say that the loss of your boy was felt quite keenly by all the old men who wore left in the company."
