''My Brigade was magnificent," writes Brigadier-General Johnston, in a letter referring to late operations a.t Gallipoli. ' "New .Zealand mothers may Sold their heads high; indeed, we can all be proud of our opUntrvmen, and I thank God that I am fighting with them. "With-the Mounted Rifles, we made the best brigade on the Peninsula. The men, are fine . and well-trainedr-yards'ahead of some others. It is the right policy to train them in New Zealand, and only send them on to us when they are fit to go into the ranks. The Maoris, who have been handed over to me, are good fighters, hard workers, and also are happy and contented."
