U.S. PAPER REVIEWS KIPPENBERGER’S BOOK; TRIBUTE TO N.Z. TROOPS
NEW YORK, Nov. 5 (Recd. 8 pm). —New Zealand soldiers were unsurpassed for straight tactical combat, whether as “desert rats” in Africa or “mountain goats” in Italy, said the New York “Times.”
It was reviewing "Infantry Brigadier,” bya New Zealander, MajorGeneral Sir Howard Kippenberger. The “Times” quoted Kippenberger as saying: “It was most interesting to be with the Americans” when the New Zealanders fought alongside United States troops. “The Times” reviewer commented "the feeling was mutual.” He added: “If a book is part of the war’s pay-off the New Zealanders are well paid by this account.”
