(P.A.) WELLINGTON, June 11. Commenting on the posthumous award of the Victoria Cross to Second Lieutenant Ngarimu. the Hon. E. T. Tirikatene, Minister in charge of the Maori War Effort, said in the House of Representatives to-day that this award would go down in history, and was a tribute to both pakeha and Maori.
