ARMENIAN DOCTOR
(N.Z.E.F. Official News Service) CAIRO, April 12. An interesting personality with whom New Zealanders have been closely associated since their arrival in Syria is Major J. Antonelli, Armenian doctor, who treated MajorGeneral Freyberg when he was wounded for the seventh time in the last war. Major Antonelli is now a member of the Royal Army Medical Corps and he is eagerly waiting a chance to meet General Freyberg again. Major Antonelli mentioned how he dressed General Freyberg's injuries. It was on September 20, 1917, at St. Julienne. General Freyberg had just taken over command of a brigade of London Fusiliers and the brigade was getting ready for Passchendaele. Major Antonelli was then regimental medical officer to one of General Freyberg's battalions.
