THE SECOND N.Z.E.F.
The proposal that the title of the 2nd N.Z.E.F. should be altered to 3rd N.Z.E.F. was submitted to the Dominion executive committee of the N.Z.R.S.A. at its meeting held recently. It was pointed out that this question had been dealt with previously^ and that in choosing the title of 2nd N.Z.E.F. the Government had given due consideration to the dispatch of New Zealand Contingents, to South Africa in 1899----1902. The deciding factor had been that the troops sent to South Africa were titled "contingents," also that although Australia had already dispatched troops overseas on four previous occasions it had been decided that the Australian divisions in the present war be called the 2nd A.I.F. The proposed alteration was not approved. " ■
