The Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs to the Governor-General of New Zealand

11 March 1940

The following telegram has been received from His Majesty's Ambassador at Cairo:1

On General Freyberg's invitation I attended a parade this morning of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force and was privileged to take the salute. The men looked in fine fettle and are evidently settling down well in their new surroundings. As I told them, their general bearing and appearance was most impressive.

1 Rt. Hon. Lord Killearn, PC, GCMG, CB, MVO; at time of reference, Sir Miles Wedderburn Lampson.
