Admiration Of House Of Representatives
BATTLES IN GREECE AND CRETE
A resolution expressing Parliament’s admiration for the action fought by members of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force in Greece and Crete, and sympathy for bereaved relatives, was carried unanimously by the House of Representatives recently. It was moved by the Acting-Prime Minister, Mr. Nash, who said he did not propose to speak to it, leaving the resolution itself to convey the message. The resolution was as follows: — “That the House of Representatives in Parliament assembled records its enduring admiration of the courage, tenacity and determination displayed by the officers and men of the New Zealand Division, Maori and pakeha alike, in the fight for liberty on the battlefields of Greece and, Crete, its confidence in the distinguished leader ship of the General Officer Command ing the New Zealand Forces, Major General B. C. Freyberg, V.C., and its expression of sympathy for all those who now sorrow for the loss of oui gallant soldiers.”
“I am proud to have the privilege of seconding the resolution,” said the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Holland.
The Speaker, Mr. Barnard, said he would see that a copy of the resolu tion was sent to General Freyberg.
