ORPHAN CHILDREN ENTERTAINED
On Guy Fawke’s right, men and women of Bumh am camp acted as hosts to the children of three Christchurch orphanages. About 150 children, attended by 14 adults, arrived at the camp in buses. They were met at the entrance by soldiers and members of the New Zealand Women’s Royal Army Corps and each child was presented with a bag of sweets.
After being welcomed by the camp second in command (Major J. Rathbun), the children were taken to an area where a huge bonfire had been prepared. A fireworks display was given and supper was provided.
