AWARDS FOR BRAVERY — Investiture at Auckland [Further information]
SANDERS, Lieut Commander Edward, RNR — award received by father, E H Sanders, of Takapuna. The announcement of the Naval hero�s name was received with deafening cheers. The Gazette stated that for 16 months the late Lieutenant Commander had been in command of one of His Majesty�s ships engaged in combating enemy submarines and he had been awarded the Victoria Cross and the Distinguished Service Order in connection with the great gallantry he had displayed on several occasions with enemy submarines.
HUBBARD, Capt Arthur Charles, Auckland Regt, M.C. — award for gallantry and devotion to duty received by mother, Mrs E A Hubbard, of Paeroa. He displayed great courage and initiative in leading his company in the assault on the enemy front line and later was largely instrumental in rescuing several wounded men.

A Niue Island soldier, Private Make ALLAN, who returned recently from the front, died while under treatment on Sunday.
The body of Private William BEAUCHAMP, who died at Auckland Hospital on Monday, was interred with military honours at Waikumete Cemetery last week. Rev J R BURGIN officiated at the graveside and the firing party was supplied by the Garrison Artillery. The deceased soldier, who was a native of Scotland, returned recently from the front but owing to the fact that he was unconscious from the time he disembarked, little is known about him. It is believed he had a wife residing in Scotland.
