EXERCISE IN WESTLAND
Army Planner Pleased British and New Zealand troops who recently took part in Exercise Te Rauparaha in Westland performed extraordinarily well, according to Lieutenant-Colonel M. R. Kennedy, who planned the exercise. At Burnham military camp yesterday, Colonel Kennedy, commander of the battalion depot, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, said he considered the exercise had gone very well. “It was a hard one physically and was designed to be just that—a test of a soldier’s ability to live, move, and operate under tough physical conditions,” he said. After exercising in close country for some months now men of the depot will in February carry out a strenuous open warfare training exercise at Tekapo.
