Netherlands Navy’s Gift.—The Royal Netherlands Navy has made an unusual gift to the Royal Navy, which has been accepted by the First Sea Lord, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Andrew Cunningham, states an agency correspondent. This is an undertaking by the Royal Netherlands Navy to provide the gardens of the Royal Naval Colleges at Dartmouth and Greenwich and the Royal Naval Barracks at Devonport, Portsmouth, and Chatham with Dutch flowers every spring in perpetuity, as a token of gratitude for British hospitality and friendship during the war.—London, June 21.
