CANADIANS AND NEW ZEALANDERS.
GLORY ON THE SOMME,
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.
LONDON, September 20. Air Philip Gibbs writes : The Canadians won great glory on Friday and Saturday. They came from tho Ypres salient to the Somme determined to get their own back. Their attack was finely organised, a-nd when the facts are known it will be regarded as a great milil'a-ry achievement. A French-Oanadiau unit was particularly brilliant, and captured a German strdbghnld, where they took hundreds of prisoners
Tho New Zealanders—clean-cut, handsome follows—followed tho great example tho Australians set in tho right around Poziores, Tho New Zealanders’ gallant charge at dawn on Friday will be long remembered. They crossed “No Man's Land/’, over to the German trenches, and out into tho blue in pursuit of tho retreat-' ing enemy.
