THE NEW ZEALAND MEDAL. (FROM THE " EUROPEAN MAIL," JANUARY 28.)
The A^nfj) and Navy Gazette says: "The heroes of New Zealand will shortly have their hearts set at rest by receiving the medal for which they have so long been sighing. The medal will, we are informed, be issued to those who took part in the campaign of 1846-47 almost immediately. We wonder how many survivors there are of the 1846-1847 campaign. We certainly know one officer who is now filling a responsible Staff appointment who served with the 58th in the first campaign, but we fear the gallant Rtttlanders, as a regiment, will appear little more glorious after the issue than they do at present. Time works graat changes, and those who fought aide by side under the black standard twenty-three years ago have, many of them, long since gone to their last resting-place."
