' Mr. J. F. Bailey, of Auckland, has received a very striking tribute of the esteem and liking with which his brother Lee.-Corporal Joseph Bailey, of the ' New Zealand Medical Corps, who was killed in the Somme Battle, wae re- ' garded. The unit of -which Corpl. Bailey was a member has sent a gold brooch, very tastefully designed, bearing a. small reproduction of the Medical Corps regimental badge, flanked by a red cross and a fern leaf. In an accompanying- letter Lieut.-Colonel Hardie Neil says: "The brooch is a token of the affection and esteem with which Corporal Bailey was regarded. We have not forgotten him and the Xew Zealand Divisional Orchestra, which undoubtedly owes ite origin to him. . . I personally cannot help re- ' crrettin.* his death still, for he was responsible for some of our happiest hours, and was very loyal and helpful." Corporal Bailey enlisted with.the Rifle Brigade, to which he was attached in the Medical Corps. Great bargains in children's and maids' millinery at the J.GVL. Colossal Sale. Mothers should not fail to see these goods.—John Court, Ltd., Queen Street.—(Ad.)
