TRIBUTE TO TROOPS
BISHOP OF WAIAPU “I am privileged to share captivity with our troops,” writes the Bishop of Waiapu, the Rt. Rev. G. V. Gerard, on a postcard from a prisoner-of-war camp in enemy country to Dean Brocklehurst, of 'St. John’s Cathedral, Napier. “In battle, at the dressing stations, or in death, our men have been magnificent.” the bishop adds. “To all anxious or sorrowing relatives I extend sympathy. May God give you comfort and strength. Deeply grateful to all clergy and laity faithfully doing my work, as well as your own. Look forward to future service together in days of peace and reconstruction. My blessings.”
