THE N.Z. DIVISION
PRAISE BY MR. CHURCHILL (P.A.) WELLINGTON, this day. The following message of praise was sent by Mr. Churchill to the Prime Minister, Mr. Fraser, on the occasion of Mr. Churchill's inspection of the New Zealand Division in Tripoli. Mr. Churchill's message reads: "It is with the greatest pleasure and admiration that yesterday I watched the men of the New Zealand Division parade and march past near Tripoli under their brilliant and heroic commander, my old friend Sir Bernard Freyberg. The impression made upon me, by these splendid troops gave me the utmost confidence in the part they will play in the near future, and renewed all my feeling of gratitude to New Zealand for the high and broad strategic conception which enabled her sons to fight in the vanguard of the victorious desert army."
