(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day. With the object of supplementing official accounts of big battles and minor engagements, a competition, which was open to all ranks of the second N.Z.E.F. closed on June 30 , for the best eye-witness accounts of Middle East actions in which New Zealanders were engaged. Articles submitted will be filed in the official archives for use when the official history of the second N.Z.E.F. is being written.
The judges—Lieutenant-Colonel F. Waite (New Zealand patriotic fund), the editor of the second N.Z.E.F. Times, and an officer appointed by headquarters of the second N.Z.E.F. — are now dealing with the large number of entries received. Three £5 prizes' for officers, and three similar prizes for other ranks were offered by the National Patriotic Fund Board.
