“ ALLIED REGIMENTS.”
Canterbury and Queen’s Own West Kent. (Special to the “ Star.”) AUCKLAND, December 21. The Queen’s Own West Kent Regiment and the Canterbury Regiment, New Zealand are “ allied regiments,’’ and Captain A. John Wilson, who arrived by the Rangitata to-day as advance agent for a party of English public school boys to tour the Dominion early in the New Year, brought a photo and a letter which he has been asked to present to the Commanding Officer of the Canterbury Regiment at Christchurch. The letter is from Lieutenant-General O’Dowd, Colonel of the Queen’s Own, and the photo is from the officers and men of the Second Battalion at Aldershot. Captain Wilson had a distinguished military career in France and India. He went on active service in October, 1916, when only eighteen years of age, and retired from the Army three years, ago and went to Germany in 1931. While in Berlin last month, he received an invitation to act as advance agent for the School Empire Tour.
