i • - « i. "NO BETTER WORK HAS BEEN 1 DONE." ' i A high tribute to the valuable services rendered by the New Zealand Veterinary Corps in France has boen 1 forwarded by Lieutenant-General Sir A. 1 J. Godley to tho Minister of Defence. • The tribute is paid bv Major-General J. Moore, Director of Veterinary Services, 1 British Expeditionary Force in France. I In a letter to General Godley, under date of February sth, General Moore states:— I "Before the demobilisation of the New Zealand Division, and the New Zealand Section of No. 4 Veterinary Hospital at Calais, I should, like to express my appreciation of the excellent service rendered by the New Zealand Veterinary Corns. The record of the Division, from a veterinary point of view, all through the war has compared most favourably . with, other divisions. The difficulties of active service have been surmounted in a highly creditable fashion, and the manner in which offit cors and other ranks have stuck to their , duties is beyond all praise. No better ■work has been done anywhere than by the small New Zealand Veterinary Hospital attached to No. 4 Veterinary Hospital, Calais. Tho work carried out has I always .been of a high standard, and it is a model of efficiency and good order. I am glad that the New Zealand Veterinary Corps has had an opportunity of being complete in all matters of veterinary organisation in the field, and that it has proved its mettle. Without question it has justly merited the good-will and I high regard of the Dominion to which it belongs. Thoroughly identifying it.self with the Army Veterinary Service, British Expeditionary Force, "the parting is one full of regrets; at the same time there remains ,a deep sense of gratitude for all the splendid assistance it has rendered.—(Signed): J. Moore, Major-Greneral, Director of Veterinary Services." J
