The Temuka and Geraldine recruits of
the 35th Reinforcements and their relatives were entertained to luncheon
in the Drill Hall by the. ladies of the Temuka Patriotic Entertainment
Committee. During luncheon the Temuka Patriotic Orchestra played musical,
selections. Dr. Paterson (Mayor of Geraldine), in a short speech asked the
recruits to live up to the reputation of the men. who had gone before. New
Zealand soldiers had been paid high, tribute by Sir Douglas Haig, and it
thrilled all with pride to read of their praises from such a high quarter.
He was quite sure they would not fail. On behalf of the Geraldine people
he thanked the ladies of the committee for their hospitality. Rev. C. Mac
Donald, the next speaker, said that while they were wondering how many
more reinforcements would have to be sent, it would not do to take any
risks, as more than one battle had been lost for the want of reserves.. lt
is a long war and a stiff war, but a holy one, and the recruits were on
the side fighting for the right. Mr T. Gunnion wished the soldiers good
luck and a safe return, and "For they are jolly good fellows" closed this
function. At 1.30 p.m. the Temuka Brass and Pipe Bands headed the march to
the station, where a good crowd had assembled to bid them good-bye. A
short address was given by his Worship the Mayor (Mr A. Frew). As the
train came in Major Kennedy called for cheers for the men, and they were
on.tl? '.isiastically given. The following are the men who left under
