PRIVATE FREYBERG
ENLISTS WITH THE N.Z.E.F. A recent addition to the New Zealand Expeditionary Force is Private Paul Freyberg, who joined up immediately on leaving Eton to serve under his famous father, General B. C. Freyberg, V.C., now commanding the New Zealanders in Egypt. Freyberg junior is still in his ’teens. He is a strong, well-built lad and remarkably like his father in looks. While her husband and son are serving with the New Zealanders, Mrs Freyberg is also working hard for them. She is one of the supervisors at the New Zealand Forces Club in Charing Cross road, formerly the Italian Club. Mrs Freyberg has her own office there and works regular hours, only taking week-ends off. She has a natural flair for organisation, and this has proved invaluable in arranging hours for some 70 voluntary workers who form the “ staff.” Mrs Freyberg’s attractive taste for decoration is also apparent in the club, which has undergone extensive ■alterations in this respect since the Italians left hurriedly last June.
