proud of their representatives who go
forward to uphold the Empire. May
they come to no harm. Address
was as follows :-DEAR Thiamine :-
We have met here to -night for the
special purpose of giving expression to
our good wishes for, and showing our
respect to the boys of the 16lst Bette -
Hoe who have enlisted from this com-
munity. On account of circumstances
we were unable to show our respect
in this public manner for others of our
young men who have enlisted in other
Battalions, but in your case we have
been afforded this opportunity tonight
and we desire to say to you that
nothing which you could have done
would have raised you as high in our.
esteem as this act of couseciation.
For we believe you could not have
made a nobler consecration of your
powers, because now you are giving
all for the defence of liberty and
justice, and the upholding of the weak.
We deem that it is a small thing that
we as citizens of this community ,
should give some expression of our
respect for you. You are enduring
hardships, only
of Empire ufor of the Dfro at
large but for theOld la
F but also
gg,
for our sakes. One has said "Greater
love hath no mint than this, that a
man lay down his life for his friends.
We are convinced that in spirit at any
rate you are doing that for us. We
hope sincerely that not one of you
may be called upon to make the
supreme sacrifice, but that all may re-
turn to your homes, safe and sound,
after the final victory has been won.
We wish to present a wrist watch to
each of you, or as is the choice of one -
of your number, a signet ring, as an
earnest of our sympathy and respect.
We pray that all may go well with
yeti, and that you may take a large
share in bringing about a permanent
peace for the world. Signed on be-
half of the community. 119. FERE-
