UNEXPECTED MEETING
[>Y TFXKGRAPII OWN* CORRESPONDENT] TAURANGA, Thursday
Writing to bis wife, Private Cameron Smith, who left Tauranga with the second echelon, now in England, relates a remarkable coincidence. Private Smith had only been in New Zealand two years, his home being in Edinburgh. When a troop train arrived at a suburban station in Edinburgh in July he walked over to a gate to look at some of the old familiar sights, but the most familiar one he saw was his own father standing just on the other aide of the gate.
