THE KING’S MEDAL
WIN FOR SERGEANT THOMSON. PALMERSTON NORTH RESIDENT. Per Press Association. TRENTHAM, March 12. .The hundred highest men fired, four practices for the King’s medal with the result that Staff Sergeant J. S. Thomson, of Palmerston North, and Sergeant A. J. Howard, of H.M.S. Diomede, tied, with 157 points. As Sergeant Thomson had the best score at the last practice (fire with movement from 600 yards to 300 yards) his score is the best. In any case, the naval man is ineligible to take the medal but he deserves special recognition for his fine performance.
