Memories.
The scenes depicted below will bring back vivid memories to all New Zealanders who went overseas to play their part in the Great War:—
1. |
At Sierra Leone. Natives selling fruit to those on the vessel. The practice was to lower baskets containing money from the deck to the dug-outs of the natives, who would then fill the baskets with fruit to be hauled up, and disposed of in quick time, by the keen-set soldiers. |
2. |
Approaching England. The Devonshire hills are seen in the background. Near at hand is a destroyer making for Plymouth harbour, whilst overhead hangs a captive balloon from which watch was being kept for submarines. The small dot beneath the baloon is the cage containing the lookout man. |
