NEW ZEALANDERS IN GREECE
No Truth In Report By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received November 24, 9.45 p.m.) LONDON. November 23. It is authoritatively stated that certain mixed units of British, Australian and New Zealand troops have gone to Greece. The Athens correspondent of the British United Press reports that an overjoyed crowd carried British soldiers shoulder high through the streets. Embarrassed Anzacs and some “Tommies” from Northern England failed completely when they tried to dodge the overpowering attentions of the Greeks. The hur e square before the Royal Palace became a sea of waving flags. From inquiries made in official circles in Wellington to-night it can be authoritatively stated that there is no truth in the report that New Zealand troops have been sent to Greece.
