“I must make reference to the great courtesy shown us by the New Zealand High Commissioner, Mr W. J, Jordan, during our visit to England for the Coronation,” said Captain J. A. Algie at the annual reunion of the King’s Empire Veterans at Auckland. “No matter what was required, one could always depend on the 'High Commissioner to arrange things. In New Zealand House there was always a crowd waiting for information, and I cannot speak too highly of the senior clerk, Miss Fitz Gerald, who was tireless in her endeaVours to smooth out the difficulties of visitors. As for Mr Jordan himself, one could not wish for a more approachable and courteous High Commissioner.”
