OUR TROOPS ON SUEZ CANAL
IN FINE FETTLE,
" I saw a great number of our troop 3 on the Suez Canal, and on the last night I spent in Egypt, at Ismailia, I saw the New Zealand Rifle Brigade march from one side of the Canal to the other, and a very fine spectacle, it. was," remarked Colonel B 4 H. Rhodes, M.P., yesterday, on his return by the Moeraki from a visit to Egypt. Colonel Rhodes added that our troops were in fine fettle and excellent spirits. The people of New Zealand might rest assured that our troops were ready for whatever might come. They were larger in numbers and more efficient, and any General would he proud to command them.
