Describing the unit as the finest body of men he had ever seen, a former Officer of an English regiment paid a warm tribute to the non-commissioned officers how in training for the second echelon of the special military force at Auckland. Enlisting in the ordinary way, the former officer is himself now a member bf the non-commissioned officers’ section. “For keenness and enthusiasm, these New Zealand non-com-missioned officers can have no equal,; he stated. “Their keenness is remarkable, many rising at 4 a.m. in order that they could practise various aspects of training among themselves before being called to the first parade.”
