DESERT SHOCK TROOPS
New Zealand Division “The men of the New Zealand Division were looked on as the shock troops of the Eighth Army,” said the Minister of Rehabilitation, Major C. F. Skinner, M.C., in an address last night. The division. he said, had carried out some of the greatest desert moves in history. Its exploits were known throughout the United Kingdom. New Zealand never stood higher in the estimation of the British people. . Referring to his visit to Great Britain at the invitation of the British Ministry of Information, Major Skinner said that lie addressed over 100 meetings., most of them in canteens of the big factories. The war had in some ways been a blessing, but it had brought the Dominions together as nothing else could. The Empire was never, more united and the workers of Great Britain were stronger, more selfreliant qnd determined never to go baek to the conditions of yesterday.
