DUNTROON GRADUATES
X.Z. OFFICERS RETURN'
(Pm- Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day
Six of the 10 New Zealand officers, who graduated this year from the Royal Military College, Duntroon, Australia, and who have been posted to the New Zealand Staff Corps, returned by the Wanganella yesterday.
Four others will remain in Australia to undergo a special artillery course. The men are Lieutenants R. De La Cour, R. B. Dawson, W. C. T. Foley, M. T. S. Dew, R. B. Symon, J. Burns, A. J. Young, D. Curtis, I. A. Murray, and F. N. Armstrong.
The Minister of Defence, the lion. F. Jones, said to-day that the men were sent to Duntroon under an arrangement with the Australian Government by which a certain number of New Zealanders were being trained to become regular officers. This was one of the many directions in which close co-operation was being maintained between Australia and New Zealand to the mutual benefit of both.
These officers are to be posted to various stations throughout New Zealand.
