THE WAR HONOURS
CLAIMS OF OVERSEA COMMANDERS. LEFT TO RESPECTIVE GOVERNMENTS. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, August 13. Sentiment among Australians, New Zealanders and Canadians in London is strongly growing that the services of commanders of the chief Overseas Armies should have been recognised in the final distribution of honours. The War Office intimated that it would like to have done so but was afraid Governments would feel affronted. Therefore it left the matter to the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian legislatures to adopt their own measures for recognising the war services of Generals Monash, Russell, Currie, and others and for recommending them for Imperial honours.
