No. 4 Company New Zealand Garrison Artillery Territorials held an inspection parade at Lyttelton last night, under Major J. P. E. Veale. There was tfl largo attendance. Colonel C. J. Cooper, Officer Commanding the Coastal Defence Forccs, who was accompanied by Major D. McDonald, of tho Garrison Artillery, complimented the company upon its smart appearance. At a later stage Colonel Cooper unveiled an enlarged photograph of the late Sergeant P. K. Irvine, who fell on the GallipCili Peninsula in May of 1915. The speaker expressed himself as honoured jn being called upon to unveil a memorial to a Oomrade who had added lustre to the company of which he had been a member. Sergeant Irvino had been connected with the Garrison Artillery since the early days of the Territorials, and had x'ollowed their progress with interest. On being accepted for active service ho had gone ,to tho Dardanelles, there to acquit himself in the manner expected of him. Letters received from the front had made it clear that during his stay there he had upheld the highest traditions of tho company, and eventually died worthily lighting for the King and tho Empire. The time opportune for New Zealand to make still greater sacrifices than thoso already made on Gallipoli. The scene of tho conflict for the New Zealand troops had been removed to Fiance, where, as at the Dardanelles, he felt sure they would prove their mettle and show themselves worthy to take their place in the, field besido their British. French, Russian, and Canadian comrades. The deeds of Sergeant Irvine would be remembered with pride by all who knew him, and would be the means of stimulating a spirit of emulation. Colonel Cooper also made reference to the great, distinctions won by Sergeant Harold Rhind. of Lyttelton, who had been mentioned in the King's Birthday honours as the winner of tho D.C.M. In conclusion, the speaker felt sure that the New Zealanders now at the front and those yet to go, would acquit themselves as well as the heroes whose names he had mentioned. Major J. P. E. Veale stated that the deceased soldier had been among the_ first to offer his services for the Main Expeditionary Force. So keen had he been to go that he had enlisted 1 in the ranks, and by his ability and earnestness had risen to be a sergeant. The photograph was then unveiled, the Coast-nl Defence Band playing the j "Last Post." I
