A military career which must be nearly a record is that Mr R B Sarsfield, late of the 111h Battalion A I F. Mr Sarsfield is a singer who has played in vaudeville in all corners of the world, and his intention was to run a combined vaudeville and picture show through New Zealand with headquarters in Christchurch but on Thursday he was again accepted for service, so the venture must necessarily be indefinitely postponed. Mr Sarsfield fought in Mexico for Madero against Diaz in 1910. He also served with the Canadian Engineers, the American Marines and four years with the Cheshire Engineers. In addition to that be served with the Australian forces in France receiving his discharge in Tasmania only ten days ago, and now he has been passed as fit for the New Zealand armv. "Sarsfield" is this singing soldiers stage name. His proper name is
Mr R. B. Pinchin.
