Bush Fighting in New Zealand, by Major-General Sir James Alexander and was first published in 1873.   "The incidents of the Maori War 1860-1861 were published by me some years ago. The events which occurred were chiefly in Taranaki, were very interesting, subsequent "actions and incidents" were sanguinary and exciting, and afford useful instruction in Bush Fighting, and no other military or naval man had given a detailed account of the last operations in New Zealand, I undertook the task, for I thought that in justice to the forces engaged, Regulars and Colonials, soldiers and sailors, their gallant deeds, their labours and sufferings should be recorded. Thus I have introduced the name of every officer, non-commissioned officer or private, soldier, or seaman I could discover who is mentioned in any dispatch or report of creditable action. I was liberally allowed by the Military and Naval authorities free access to all the documents at the House Guards and Admiralty to the Maori War."

Narrative of the Late War in New Zealand -

by Lieutenant-Colonel Carey, C.B.    This Book was first published in 1863 and gives a narrative of the events of the New Zealand War 1860-1861 in the Taranaki District so far as the Military operations under Major-General Pratt are concerned. "At  the commencement of the year 1860 the military and naval force in the colony was particularly small: the infantry, by the withdrawal, in October 1858, of the 58th regiment, being reduced to one regiment. The colonists were scattered over the face of the island without the slightest regard, either in the choice of their land, or of sites for their houses, to military or even to mutual defense. The country itself was a network of gullies, ravines, marshes, and impenetrable forest, and except in the neighborhood of the townships, destitute of roads; and even those near towns were hardly better than cart-tracks, impassible in winter."

Historic Trentham

When war was declared by Great Britain against Germany, on August 4, 1914, there was no New Zealand Army, in the strict sense of the word. The outline of one existed, and the country had been fortunate in securing the services of some capable Imperial Officers and n.c.o.'s for the training of her citizen army on a territorial basis. the possibility of the Dominion ever finding it necessary to send an army overseas to fight had been dreamed of by a few far-sighted military experts, but officially it had never been contemplated seriously. In spite of this, the military authorities faced, undismayed the problem of mobilising and dispatching seven thousand Men without the loss of time, and of training and sending reinforcements at regular intervals. And it was interesting to record that the first tents to be occupied by this army were pitched by civilians. Within a week of the declaration of war, camps were established at Awapuni--where the people of Palmerston North provided fatigue parties to pitch the tents--Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Wellington. It was the beginning of a new phase of military work, a new era in the Dominion. But the early camps were only temporary ones. Trentham where the Dominion Rifle Association had it's fine rifle ranges, was in view all the time, and many of the mounted rifles of the main body completed their brief period of training at Trentham. thus it had been identified with every draft that had gone overseas, except the Artilitary, Mounted Rifles, Divisional Signalers, and A.S.C. drafts which mobilised after the new camp at Featherston had been built. Drafts of reinforcements for these branches of services are now wholly trained at Featherston. The Main Body and First Reinforcements sailed on October 14, 1914. On the same day, nearly three thousand recruits and huge quantities of camp equipment arrived at Trentham. this book tells the day-to-day life of the Camp at Trentham, with many black and white photographs.

Official History of New Zealand’s Effort on the Great war Vol.II France.

By Col. H. Stuart. C.M.G., D.S.O., M.C. (late commander 2^nd Bat. Canterbury Regiment)

After the evacuation of Gallipoli, the New Zealand Division was ordered to France and arrived in April, 1916.

At the time both sides were involved in trench warfare. The British, in conjunction with the French, attacked during the autumn on the Somme. The enemy was not sufficiently reduced in numbers, armament or moral for a decision to be obtained. It was not then considered justifiable to attack at various periods on several portions of the front. Communication had not been sufficiently perfected, nor was the artillery considered adequate.

In 1817 the British plan was more ambitious. The Arras offensive in April was succeeded by the attack on Messines Ridge, afterwards by the Ypres offensive in July, and later, in November, by the Cambrai attack supported by tanks. In each case, however the attack definitely ceased before being undertaken elsewhere.

During these periods the New Zealand Division made several gallant attacks, but were not able to make their individuality properly felt until 1918 when the New Zealand Division joined the I.V. Corps, at the critical time in March, when it completely checked the enemy’s advance at Beaumont-Hammel and Colincamps, and closed the gap between the IV. and V. Corps

In the great attack which commenced in August, 1918 the New Zealand Division played a most brilliant in the operations on the IV Corps front. Its efforts were crowned with almost continuous success.

1.      The Formation of the Division

2.      Summer at Armentieres

3.      The battle of the Somme, 1916
