“GALLANT ANZACS"

PRAISE IN JAPAN -

FACED THE INCREDIBLE ‘BLOODIED BUT UNBOWED’ Elec. Tel. Copyridht— United Press Assn.) (Reed. June 4. 2.30 p.m.) TOKIO, June 3. The Foreign Office journal, the Japan Times, unprecedentedly pays a tribute to the brave-y of the British forces in Crete, and specifically mentions the gallant Anzacs. It says: “Every British officer and man who shared in this strangest war of all history deserves a special order of knighthood. Bombed, blasted and exhausted, stripped of the veneer cf civilisation, and 'knowing that they faced only bloody hand-to-hand fighting, they faced incredible and horrible reality.

“They proved that modern manhood is not decadent. They experienced the ultimate fear. They can never know peace again. "Even the Germans will raise their hands in testimony to those whose heads are bloodied but unbowed.’’
