Just before the start of the invasion of Western Europe several weeks ago the Prime Minister (Mr. Fraser) visited General Montgomery at his headouarters in Britain. The general informed him that a day or two previously, when visiting Portsmouth, he had met a New Zealand boy serving with the Royal Navy, and had his photograph taken with him. “General Montgomery gave me a copy of the photograph to take to the boy’s mother,” said Mr. Fraser last night. “I have it with me, and will do so at the first opportunity.” At Mr. Fraser’s request. General Montgomery autographed the photograph, which will be an historic and treasured possession in the household of a New Zealand family.—P.A. Heavy quality Khaki Bib Overalls, with pockets.
