SIR A. RUSSELL'S COMMENTS
DEVOTED FRIEND OF EX-SERVICEMEN HASTINGS, January 31. Sir Andrew Russell was shocked when he learnt of the death of Lord Haig. He said: “All New Zealand, especially those who served under his command, will learn with sorrow of the death of Field-marshal Haig. The soldiers of tho Empire were fortunate in having a, general who led them to victory in the Great War, and in his untimely death ex-servicemen have lost a true and devoted friend who was unsparing in his efforts on their behalf since the armistice. He may well be counted amongst our heroes.”
