I am at present in the middle of Africa on a strenuous but most interesting semiofficial tour. I have therefore, neither the time nor the opportunity to say to our capable and trusty comrades in arms of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (A.N.Z.A.C.) all I would wish to say on my own behalf and on behalf of the 29th Division Association, of which I have the honour to be president.
