Defence Minister Thanks N.M.R.
[Per Press Association. Copyright .] WELLINGTON. This Day.
Between 800 and 1000 members of the Wellington group of the National Military Reserve, Class 2. paraded last night and were reviewed and addressed by the Minister of Defence (Mr Jones).
Mr Jones expressed the thanks of the Prime Minister and the Government for the way in which returned soldiers had responded to the appeal for men for the Reserve.
It was impossible to say to what extent the services of the Reserve would be used, but it gave the Government great satisfaction to know it had in training a body of men who had the experience of war and who were willing and ready to meet any emergency.
He believed that with the spirit which animated the British forces throughout the Empire there could be no doubt as to the issue of the war.
