N.Z. SHRUBS FOR GRAVE OF SGT WARD, V.C.
(PA.) NEW PLYMOUTH, June 4. The New Zealand High Commissioner in London, Mr. W. J. Jordan, will plant a number of Now Zealand shrubs on the grave of Sergeant J. Ward, V.C.. at Hamburg on September 15, according to advice received at New Plymouth.
Included in his party will be Air Commodore M. W. Buckley, officer commanding the R.N.Z.A.F. in Britain, and Mr. A- Mitchell, of the New Zealand Press Association’s London staff, who last year took from New Plymouth a young kauri and kowhai for that purpose. These species were considered unsuitable, however, and instead a veronica carnosula will be planted.
