“Birdwood, of Anzac”
In a previously used envelope, and with the address written on an attached slip of paper inscribed “Birdwood, F.M.,” Field-Marshall Lora Birdwood has written to Mr. J. Jd. West, honorary secretary of the N.Z.E.F. Main Body Association accepting the office of life patron of the association. On a single sheet of notepaper of the Cavalry Club, 127, Piccadilly, London, W. 1., the famous former leader states: “I hope you will please convey to all members of the association my very grateful thanks for their kind reception of me as their Life Patron—a position I am very proud to hold. Will you please convey my kindest wishes to all members for this and many more years, and for peace after real victory over our bestial German and Japanese foes.” The letter is signed, “Birdwood of Anzac.”
