_The Evening Post_, 12 December 1924:
            WOMEN IN PRINT.

  The following extract from a letter of a New Zealand lady now living in #England has been forwarded to the “Church News”: —“We were delighted to see in the old parish church (#Brockenhurst) the New Zealand flag hung in a prominent position, and a fresh large wreath of laurel hung above it. We were told that the wreath is always kept fresh, as the New Zealand #soldiers were so much liked and respected. There were thousands of them here, and one part of the churchyard is full of their #graves, over a hundred of them. A new bell has been added to the peal in the tower in memory of the New Zealand soldiers.”

“Trump used the terms #SuckersAndLosers to describe #soldiers who gave their lives in the defense of our country,” #JohnKelly recently told Goldberg. “There are many, many people who have heard him say these things.” Besides, #Trump has said himself that he wants to use the #military domestically, & he’s disrespected #FallenSoldiers by trying to use #ArlingtonNationalCemetery as a cheap campaign prop.
