Notes

48 p ill. (some col.), ports Summary: The story of the war effort that cemented New Zealand's sense of national identity and pride. In 1914, New Zealand had 240,000 men of military age, of whom more than 100,000 enlisted to fight for King and Country, and their nearly 60,000 casualties would include some 18,000 killed. From Gallipoli to Passchendaele and Jerusalem, the men of the NZEF Main Body, New Zealand Division and Mounted Rifle Brigade earned a reputation for courage and rugged endurance that was second to none. This book explains the organization and appearance of the 'Kiwis' who fought in the Middle East and on the Western Front, and is illustrated with detailed colour plates and rare photographs.
