"N.Z. Will Not Let Us Down”
“On behalf of the members of the first echelon,” said Lieutenant-Colonel L. M. Inglis, acknowledging a civic farewell to the South Canterbury quota of the New Zealand Special Force, “I would like to egress my thunks to you on this occasion. I will have very little to say, but I wish to remark that this is only the First Echelon—two more are required before the New Zealand Division is complete. More men will have to come forward. The hope that we express is that the people of New Zealand will not let us down, but will keep the division fed with recruits. The men are jirgently required. I tis not a matter "for me to say how they arc to be secured, but for the country. 1 would like to make an appeal on behalf of the men who are leaving dependants behind, and that is that you will see they are looked after.”
