New Zealanders In British List
LONDON, June 12. The following New Zealanders were included in the military division of the Queen’s Birthday Honours List published in the London Gazette today: ORDER OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE Commander Group Captain Ernest William Tacon, of Hastings, New Zealand. Member Lieutenant-Commander William Hector Brereton, R.N., of Nelson, New Zealand, and Plymstock, Devon. AIR FORCE CROSS Flight Lieutenant Allan Montague Bezzant, of Canterbury, New Zealand. Fire Averted Dense smoke and an “overpowering stench” met firemen from the Christchurch Central Fire Station when they answered a call at 10 o’clock last night to a bach at 241 Cashel street; but they arrived in time to prevent a fire. All they had to do was gain entry to the bach and switch off the power. A pot of meat had been left on an electric stove with the element on full and the occupier, whose name the brigade was not sure of last night, was absent.
