THEY'RE THE GOODS!
Mr. McHaigh, Northcote, has received a letter from his son Brian (serving with the 9th Australian Division in Egypt) in which special reference is made to New Zealand troops. He writes: "No doubt you have guessed I am back in Egypt. We had a good spell in Syria, and don't mind being 'in it' again. Will be able to tell you more later. Desert conditions do not worry us any more; neither does the prospect of meeting 'the Hun' . . There has been quite a bit of interesting work going on here since our return. I would like'to be able to tell you something of it. It does our blokes credit, also the> Pig Islanders . . . There's no doubt about it, Dad, they're the goods! I'll tell you all about it soon
. . . Air superiority? We'd heard a lot about such a condition, and now begorra I've seen it, and it's with us ... I can't help feeling sorry for our cobbers who had to be taken away . . . and I bet they're going a bit crook now."
