LIEUTENANT CROUCH.

AN ARDENT PATRIOT

Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, May 29

At a meeting of the War Relief Association yesterday it was proposed to perpetuate the memory of the late Lieutenant Brook Crouch, who not only died on the battlefield, but who prior to t»oing away to the front left his sum'll savings for the' benefit" of his comrades and their dependents. The following resolution was carried: ‘"The executive committee of the Wellingtons War Relief Association desires to'place upon record its high appreciation of the unselfish life and noble death of Lieutenant Foster Brook Crouch; a devoted son, he lived for those dependent on him; an ardent patriot, he died for humanity on the battlefield in Franco on March 23, 19TS; a belated competency that during life would have seemed to'him wealth beyond the dreams of avarice, ho bequeathed without condition to the fond® of the War Relief Association, his dependents having predeceased him. In such an example lies the regeneration of the British race. The Mayor is being asked to convene a meeting to consider the most suitable form of memorial; a scholarship has been suggested.
