THE ANZACS
TRIBUTE BY GENERAL BIRDWOOD. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright). (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, January 26. Sir William Birdwood, in an interview, stated that he had not the slightest intention of going to Australia again. Evidence of his strong liking for the Anzacs was revealed in his speech at Sir Joseph Cook’s luncheon. “They possessed wonderful characteristics in the face of the enemy,” he said, “and what a wonderful command of language they had, too.” Much attention is at present being directed to Sir William Birdwood’s suggestion that public school boys would be the best migrants for Australia. It has been suggested that headmasters should confer and appoint a Committee to supervise an organised effort.
