CORRESPONDENCE
A COMPLIMENT. (To the Editor). Sir, —When the New Zealand troops were operating under warfare conditions they were credited by the Imperial authorities, as being the “best behaved” boys either in the ranks or on leave; and, as a returned officer, I • wish, through your columns to convey ' to the members of the West Coast regiment which recently returned by train from their training camp, my compliments on their excellent behaviour, which . was openly commented bn bv other travellers, as being something beyond what they are given to expect. This Mr Editor, goes to show that the beautiful quality of that most excellent gift, “courtesy,” is not yet extinct among our boys. Yours etc., • “18/964.” Hokitika, February 10, 1938.
