His name was Daniel Napoleon Mesnard, and he was the son of a lady whose maiden name waisi Leon, wjio was the daughter of Count Leon, a natural son, of the Emperor. The dead soldier bore himself bravley in the defence of ftheims, and was mentioned in despatches.

The returned soldiers' hostel in Queen Street, Auckland, was. visited' on Sunday afternoon by the Prime Minister, a<hd! also by Sir Joseph and Lady Ward. Seen afterwards, the Minister for Finance said .the institution was one of those useful provisions which it was interesting to see were still being made for the purpose of assisting New Zealand men, returned from the war, to recover their full health. Everything about the hostel, he said, was in perfect order, and its general aptitude for f he work it had' set out to do was noticeable.
