NEW ZEALANDERS AND POLES
AGAIN IN ACTION TOGETHER (Official War Correspondent—N.Z.E.F.) Recd. 10 p.m. Bth Army, May 23. New Zealanders and Poles who first fought together in the battle for Gazala Ridge, beyond Tobruk, in the 1941 Libyan campaign, have again been in action together. New Zealand tanks and artillery supported the Poles in the first stages of their latest action. Reference to the work of the two forces in these battles was mzV.e by General Anders, commander of the Polish Corps, at a Press conference at his headquarters. “I am proud to be working in close collaboration with the New Zealand troops,” he said. General Anders added tnat when the New Zealanders attacked Cassino, more than two months ago, they did not fully succeed. The commander of the German Ist Paratroop Division realised that a different plan would be used, and he had warned the German garrison to beware of just such an attack as the Bth Army has now successfully carried out.
