FOREIGN WEAPONS
Instruction Given To New Zealand Division (N.Z.E.E. Official War Correspondent.) CAIRO, April 14. Junior leaders of the New Zealand Division are shortly to be instructed in foreign weapons. After the Libyan campaign, an extensive collection of Italian and German equipment was assembled at the school of instruction at Maadi. This makes it possible to give a picture of the enemy to men not yet in action. The German equipment is modern, and aluminium is used extensively, but much of the Italian material is inferior, and from tlie Great War. In includes a machinegun captured from the Austrians. The New Zealanders used enemy guns frequently in Crete and Libya, specially the Maoris. The new course should have valuable results in the next campaign.
