For very many years past, but particularly since the great war, tho British Government has been encouraging the alliance of British and Dominion regiments. Up to a period this association applied to British regiments that had been located in New Zealand or bad fought alongside regiments of this country in the Maori War. During the great war New Zealanders served alongside many British regiments. The announcement now made practically concludes the alliance project, all New Zealand units now having a "kin" regiment in Britain.
