“Salute the Kiwi”
(N.Z.E.F. Official News Service) SOUTHERN ITALY, May 15. In an editorial, “Salute tho Kiwi,” the “Crusader,” tho well-known British Army weekly now published in Italy, pays tributo to the New Zealanders Mho have served in tli o Middle East. “All of us in this theatre havo known tho New Zealanders and many of us havo known them a long time,*” states the paper. “For these things we have known them—tlieir oaky hardness; their sturdy independence; their dry, sane humour. In the Held, we have known them for their distinctive if eccentric attire—a woollen cap with comforters worn like skull caps, grey cardigans and for the minute but inescapable nod of the head which is their greeting for ail passors-by. Above all, we have known them for their deeds in Greece and Crete, at Sidi Rezegh and Alamein, at El Hamraa and Enfidaville, and latterly in Italy.”
