TROOPS APPRECIATE NEWS BULLETIN
(United Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 20. The daily news bulletin transmitted by radio from Wellington to Egypt is evidently fftuch appreciated by the troops A member of the Ist Echelon, writing to his father under date of July 1, says:— “We are kept well informed about the news by the radio set at the Young Men’s Christian Association and the Army issue of the main New Zealand news every day. Looking at today’s news, it doesn’t appear as though the car will be out very much. Six gallons won’t last very long, over a month anyway. Oh, I nearly missed this. On top of the news sheet is: ‘Wellington, July 1, 1940.’ And does it look good! I’ll say!” In addition to the daily news bulletin, a regular supply of newspaper clippings is despatched weekly. These services constitute additional reminders that the men who left these shores are constantly remembered by the folk at home.
