We all enjoy the New Zealand news very much before "passing it on." A mail from New Zealand is really a red letter day with us, and every one of lis is cheered up when it conies to band. To see a New Zealand mail sorted on the hills of Gallipoli Peninsula is a sight to be remembered. II: is four weeks to-day since we landed. There is practically 110 sickness anions the troops, who 'are all in excellent spirits: and we gave the Turlr-- n real good "dusting" on the night oi Ih-111. Yours very truly. A. .1.
