“Loot” from Egypt.
The stationery used by a man of the New Zealand Artillery in Egypt provided his parents with a thrill when his letter reached them in Auckland last week, for it proved to be part of the "loot" of the Italian Army, which has left so many little things behind it. Of excellent texture, the paper of both envelope, and writing sheet, the latter of foolscap size, is blue tinted, and the writer says it is portion of a quantity of equipment captured from the enemy. Bearing Italian letter head captions which indicate that it was used for army orders, the stationery naturally had no place in British headquarters, and as useful souvenir material it. became the “stuff to give the troops,” especially. the letter writing New Zealanders.- - - .
