LOYAL COMRADES
THE HIGHLAND DIVISION (Rec, 10 p.m.) LONDON, Apl. 22. The Secretary for Air, Sir Archibald Sinclair, opening the Caithness " Wings for Victory” campaign, paid a tribute to the 51st Highland Division, many members of which are from Caithness, and recalled that it is fighting in North Africa alongside the “splendid New Zealand Division.”
“The ties of fighting comradeship have been drawn very close between the two divisions on the battlefield,' he said. “The New Zealand Minister of Defence. Mr Jones, told me that the New Zealanders swear by the Highland Division, and say that they have never fought with finer troops or more loyal or more trusted comrades. They always want to keep with tffe Highland Division in a battle.”
