ARMENIAN DOCTOR
LAST WAR RECALLED < (N.Z.E.P. Official News Service.) CAIRO. April 12 An: interesting personality with whom New Zealanders have been closely associated since their arrival in Syria is Major J. Antonelli, an Armenian doctor, who treated Major-General Sir Bernard Freyberg when he was wounded for the seventh time in the last war. Major Antonelli is now a member of the Royal Army Medical Corps and he is eagerly awaiting a chance to meet General Freyberg again. Major Antonelli mentioned that he dressed General Freyberg's injuries on September 20, 1917, at St. Julienne. Generar Freyberg had just taken over command of a brigade of London Fusiliers and the brigade was getting ready for Passchendaele. Major Antonelli was then regimental medical officer to one of General Freyberg's battalions.
