    • Among, the list of names of missing men which appeared in our last Thursday's issue was that of H. B. Boyson who left Gisborne with the draft for the Third Reinforcements, but who was later transferred into the Fourth Reinforcements, with which draft he left New Zealand as corporal. Corporal Boyson was one of the men left in charge of the horses at the Zeitoun camp, Egypt, and was still there when he was last heard from in a letter to his brother, dated August Ist. Prior to enlisting Boyson had for two seasons been employed by Nelson.
