About Korero
Since the background bulletin began to appear in its new form and with a name on the cover, we have had several requests to explain the meaning of the name chosen and its pronunciation. Korero is, of course, a Maori word and is therefore pronounced with an equal accent on each syllable, Ko-ve-vo, the o’s and the e being short as in collar and in met. The meaning of the word is to communicate, to tell, to talk, to speak, or to say, and that explains why we chose it as a name for the background bulletin.
We remind you again that we are looking for articles, sketches, photographs, or black-and-white drawings from all members of the Forces. If you have ideas for articles, if you would like to see articles on particular subjects, tell us and we will do our best to produce them. The address is : D.A.E.W.S., Army H.Q., Wellington. Mark your envelopes “ Korero ”in one corner.
