New Zealanders Commended A highly complimentary report on 46 New Zealand scheme B candidates who joined H.M.S. Ganges for training in August and September, 1941, has been received by the Minister of Defence, Mr. Jones. “This class fully maintained, if not surpassed, the high standard set by its predecessors,” states the report. “The men have proved themselves keen and intelligent, and have put the same enthusiasm .into their work as into their play. They have, in addition, put in a lot of extra work in connexion with various warship weeks.” The average marks obtained in examinations were seamanship 96 per cent., gunnery 90.5 per cent.
