Fifty-four members
of the New Zealand expeditionary force that left the Dominion in October
last and disembarked in Egypt early in December, returned to Auckland
on Friday on board the steamer Athenic, Troopship No.11. Among the men
on board were 13 men who had been invalided home, two of the number
being from the Auckland military district, 32 men - including 8 Auckland
men - who refused to allow themselves to be inoculated with anti-typhoid
serum, and 9 men, of them from Auckland, who were to be discharged from
the force for misconduct. No officer was sent back in charge of the
men. The Athenic was docked during the morning and the men were brought
to the city by Major J E Barton of the Auckland district staff.

Act
of Heroism - son of Justice Chapman
Reference was made
in the Dunedin press on Monday to an act of heroism by a British soldier
at Boulogne recently. It was stated that in a south-westerly gale the
Antoine Germaine, a Dunkirk fishing smack, with a crew of four, was
trying to reach the harbour when it was driven into the surf about 200
yards from the beach. Three of the crew swam ashore but the skipper
aged 63, who could not swim, remained on board. The old skipper afterwards
jumped into the sea, apparently in the hope of being driven ashore but
was soon in difficulties through the heavy waves breaking over him.
Seeing this, Lieutenant Chapman, R.A.M.C., stripped to the waist
and, taking a lifeline, swam out, with extraordinary strength, through
the breakers and reached the drowning man and both were quickly pulled
ashore.
On reading of this,
the Hon. Jas. Allen concluded that the paragraph referred to
a son of Mr Justice Chapman and he telegraphed that gentleman
congratulations on the plucky action of his son. Mr Allen received a
message in reply: "Many thanks for message. Paragraph referred
to George, who is engaged in hospital at Boulogne, unless he is now
at front." [AWN
