Extract: "Some prisoners recently taken by New Zealand troops were singularly depressed, and shrank from all manifestations of kindliness on the part of their captors, especially refusing cigarettes. Subsequestly it appeared that they had been told that the New Zealanders were cannibals, whose invariable custom was to make prisoners smoke cigarettes and then eat them."
