The Ven. Archdeacon Hansell, who will attain 50 years’ service in the ministry this year, and the Rev. D. C. Bates, who has been 50 years a minister, were paid special tributes at the Wellington Diocesan Synod this week. Among the sufferers during the air raids on London was Mr Gerard A. C. Ulrich, third son of the late Professor Ulrich, of Otago University Mining School. He lost all his belongings through the club at which he lived having been struck by a bomb. The club has since been demolished. Before the war started Mr Ulrich was busy with A.R.P. work. He is now following a branch of his profession, and is metallurgical chemist at an ordnance factory “somewhere in England.”
