"A MISERABLE LOT"
By AIR MAIL
WRITING from the Western Desert, under date December 14, a sergeant with the New Zealand Force says: "Things are going with a rush around these parts since the balloon went up. The best scenery is the prisoners, and equipment everywhere. It will take some time to count them all and sort up the junk. Everything, of course, is being sent back by degrees.
"Of all tlie men captured Black Shirts predominate —and a miserable lot they are, too. They did not even know nere was a war on in Greece!
"We are still cooling our heels here, vhile others do the scrapping, and it looks as if this will be the case with us for some time yet. Other divisions are doing their share, and doing it well. One thing, we have a 'grandstand seat,' because we hear all the news from the chaps who have actually been in it, and I hey know how things are going. "I guess this trouncing will give Lienito a real man-sized headache. It will take more than propaganda to help him out this time!"
