Examines how the surviving members of the Battalion honoured the memory of their comrades killed during World War II. By service to their community in the sixty years since the war ended battalion members have sought to protect that for which their comrades fought and died. This history helps to explain the enduring nature of loyalty and comradeship, as well as the practicalities of maintaining and nurturing such an association. It explores how returned servicemen generated and maintained a support network after they returned to civilian life; how they utilised their skills and abilities to serve their communities.

In July 1942 with a notebook and pencil he had bought from a German guard, Dudley Muff started Alison's Book. Dudley was 42 and a prisoner of war in Stalag XVIIIB in Germany and his niece Alison was four and living in Timaru. It starts
"Dear Alison, Mummy has told you all about Uncle being a prisoner, so now I must tell you what we do to pass the time."
With humorous entries, sketches and what he called "little men" his story grew until it became an unbelievable account of his time served in two prisoner-of-war camps. Given to Alison when he returned to Christchurch after the war, she read it first as a child, purely for the excitement such a story could impart.
Only later, rereading this as an adult, did she see through the veiled references to how life really was in the camps. After returning to Christchurch, Dudley added a one page postscript describing his journey to freedom. He finished the book with,

The first book published by the Fleet Air Arm Museum of New Zealand. The author; David Allison, is the curator of that museum. During WWII over 1200 young New Zealand men, ages 18-25, volunteered to fly for the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy. Few of them had flown before or ad seen an aircraft-carrier. They know nothing of the aircraft they would fly in the war, and had not the vaguest idea of how they would land them on the deck of a pitching and rolling carrier. All they want was to fly. This book details the flying careers of the 760 men who graduated as trained pilots, observers and airgunners.

From his early life in small town East Coast New Zealand to his actions in the deserts of Afghanistan, this is his story in his words. This book will not only establish the place of Corporal Apiata in New Zealand's history but will give an insight into the nature of a man who is truly a reluctant hero. While to most of us his actions seemed extraordinary and heroic, Corporal Apiata felt he was an ordinary Kiwi just 'doing his job'.

In mid-winter 1944, massive infantry losses were incurred at Cassino, in the town and hills above it, as the Allies fought vainly to batter their way through heavily fortified positions to advance on Rome. What is not widely known is that a golden opportunity was created by Kiwi and Indian engineers to outflank Cassino through the construction of a road carved high up into the hills to the north of the German encampment. A surprise attack by 15 Kiwi Sherman tanks on 19 March saw the capture of Albaneta, a key German stronghold and supply line. As with Gallipoli 30 years earlier, however, the failings of army hierarchy let the Kiwi troops down as they were refused vital reinforcements and the result was defeat a few days later at the hands of hardened German paratroopers using hand-held weaponry. This book details the brilliant opportunity afforded by the Kiwi engineers, the surprise and success that resulted, and the inevitable ...

A superb true story about the courage and loyalty of a dog and his handler in wartime.
When the Zealand Rifle Brigade marched down Queen Street to board their transport ship to the Western Front, they were led by their mascot, a bulldog named Caesar. One of those waving him farewell was four-year-old Ida, whose favourite ribbon had been tied to Caesar's collar by his handler, her Uncle Tom. Trained as a Red Cross dog, Caesar rescued wounded soldiers from the hell of no-man's-land. Uncle Tom wrote home about their adventures to Ida, who eventually passed the stories on to her children and grandchildren. Patricia Stroud, Ida's daughter, tells the poignant story of an unsung Kiwi hero, and a little-known aspect of the First World War. First published for younger readers,

Its call sign was Fernleaf Cairo, and between 1939 and 1946, around 76,000 Kiwis of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force passed through Maadi Camp. Around 17 kilometres south of Cairo, the camp appeared almost overnight, as this country's permanent overseas base during World War Two. By 1945 the camp had tar-sealed roads, two cinemas, an open-air amphitheatre, canteens, bars, chapels, sports fields, a meat-pie and ice-cream factory, and - thanks to General Bernard Freyberg - swimming baths.
Egypt was a source of boundless amazement, sly humour and some disgust to the New Zealanders, an experience which left its mark, both on our language - taking a shufti - and more tangibly, the Maadi Rowing Cup.
With unpublished images and first-hand accounts,
Fernleaf Cairo
offers a fascinating insight into the unlikely bond young New Zealanders forged with the people and city of Cairo, including their many highly colourful ...
