JUDGMENT IN WILL CASE In reserved judgment given in the Supreme Court, Hamilton, today in the action to establish the will of the late Mr William Henry, of Taupiri, Mr Justice Johnston declared in favour of the will made on March 16, 1343. Probate was issued accordingly. The costs of all parties are to be paid out of the estate. ENEMY RESPECTFUL N.Z.E.F. DIV. H.Q., May 20 “Whenever he uses New Zealanders the enemy gets good results.” So reads a report on our methods of fighting submitted to the German First Paratroop Division by its machine-gun battalion, which opposed the New Zealanders when in the middle of March - they attacked and captured the Cassino station area. A copy of the report was found on a recently-captured paratrooper. According to the report our attacks are prepared for by strong-well-placed artillery fire which when the attack develops holds off the opposing artillery. Engineers are employed mainly in the quick repair of bridges and roads. “They are very skilful in removal of mines and are able to clear obstacles away very quickly,” it is stated.
Under all headings concerned with dealing with our methods in defence, appears the remark “no experience of them.”
