WAR GRAVES IN AFRICA
Two residents of Winton, Southland. Mr. and Mrs. N. Metzger, have received from their son, Driver Max Metzger, a map which he used during his work in the desert and which covers the area where the New Zealanders were most hotly attacked, the eastern part of Cyrenaica. As a result of inquiries made from the War Graves organisation, he learned that many New Zealanders who had been hastily buried in shallow graves were re-interred in special cemeteries. One is at Sidi Rezegh, which is about 55 miles west'of Bardia and about 18 miles south-east of Tobruk.
