He looked upon the scene, now quiet and peaceful, with mixed feelings and a full heart. In the cemeterv not far distant the graves oS the soldiers were beautifully kept. Many of the men who lost their lives were buried indiscriminately, and it was most touching to come to headstones with the simple inscription “To an unknown New Zealand soldier,” to an unknown British soldier, or to an unknown Australian soldier, as the case might belt impressed one forcibly with the great sacrifice made by all parts of the Empire in a nobl® cause.—Otago Times.
