    South-east passage : a souvenir magazine of the Southern Tongariro Group (Alternate title)

  • Description

    "In no boasting spirit we can say now that the finer elements of that confusion of moods proved their false and truth as a faith and an inspiration. We can let our memories turn over the campaigns and actions of those four years. Amidst scenes of the world's ancient civilisations, on the battlefields of history, we have played a part in the greatest drama of modern times, and have seen our names linked with those of men who are making the history for tomorrow.
