POPULAR COMMANDER.
BIR ANDREW RUSSELL. DONATIONS FOR PORTRAIT. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Friday. The esteem in which Major-Gen-eral Sir Andrew Russell, General Officer Commanding the New Zealand Division in France, is held by returned soldiers was exemplified at the Returned Soldiers’ Association conference when it was stated that a portrait of Sir Andrew was to be hung In the National Art Gallery but subscriptions from returned soldiers were some £2O short. Within a few minutes a large sum was subscribed, the delegates vying with one another for recognition of their districts. It was suggested that miniature prints of the portrait should be available and also larger copies made for individual associations.
