The following message have been received by GOC NZ & A Divs from "A & NZ Arm Corp" it is with the deepest I have I have to announce the death on 19th of General Bridges who has proved himself the most gallant of soldiers & best of commanders I am quite unable to express what his loss means to the Aus Div which can never repay the debt is owes to him for his untiring & unselfish labours which are responsible for the high state of orgination to which the division had been brought in every detail. The high ideal he placed before the boys from [Indecipherable] at Duntroon & which he succeeded in at home as far as my knowledge of those now serving with the A.F. in the field is concerned will I hope go down the honour of his name
