“ I take off my hat to those officers and men of the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces who are not yet too old or too bored to continue their service with the Territorial Army of to-day. They are doing work of a greater importance than they themselves may realise,” said General Sir Alexander Godley, when speaking to exservicemen at Gisborne. “ Under the conditions of training in these days, it is not too easy to keep the ranks filled, and there is a good deal of loose talk heard about it not being necessary to learn to carry arms for the defence of one’s country. You men who know what is good for your country can help to build up a public opinion that it is the right thing for a young fellow to do If you can do this, you will be carrying on the work you started while serving with the New Zealand Division.”
