LATE COLONEL SPENCER
(N.Z.E.F. Official News Service) Cairo, June 22. The record of devoted service given by the late Colonel F. M. Spencer, whose death occurred from typhus fever while commanding officer of the No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital, is revealed in an appreciation written by Brigadier McCormick and published in the “N.Z.E.F. Times.” This states: “Colonel Spencer was keen and sincere, with the highest of ideals and a quiet but manifest faith. He displayed the same zeal in his studies and hospital duties as in sport and social activities. His experience ripened all these in an able physician and commanding officer.” Tributes came from a wide circle in the Middle East.
