MEDALS AND CERTIFICATES.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE STAR.
A supply of about 28,000 1914-15 stars for distribution among members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force will reach the Dominion shortly, and will be sent to the holders immediately the names and regimental numbers can be engraved. It is expected that the distribution will commence ear'y in November. The New Zealand certificate of service will shortly be available.
Memorial plaques and scrolls are to be made at a special factory which is being erected for the purpose in England. When supplies arrive they will be distributed to the next of kin of all deceased soldiers, irrespective of whether their service was abroad or in New Zealand. The personal effects of deceased soldiers are still coming to hand for delivery to next-of-kin. Returned soldiers and next-of-kin of deceased members of the Expeditionary Force are advised to advise Base Records if they have changed their addresses. Soldiers who were discharged in England and who have returned to New Zealand should also send their present address to Base Records so as to secure their medal.
