Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 2nd Edition. New and Unread. In 1926, Colonel Brereton who had taken the 12th (Nelson) Company of the Canterbury Infantry Battalion into the Great War in the Main Body of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, wrote the well-received first edition of this title. The three campaigns alluded to, were the Battle of the Suez Canal on 3 February 1915; Gallipoli as it related to the Landing at Anzac, and the Second Battle of Krithia at Cape Helles (where the author received a serious head wound); and the Western Front, including First Somme in September 1916 and two periods in the line in the Northern Zone, in and about Armentieres. Although it was only 24 hours or so in duration, the rarely-written-about Battle of the Suez Canal was of signal historic importance. No one was better able to write about New Zealand's role in it, than Brereton. All four battalions of the New Zealand Infantry Brigade were called upon to reinforce the canal defences, when the very real threat of a Turkish attack developed. Only minor element of them became involved - two platoons of 12th Company, commanded at first-hand by Major Brereton; 100 all ranks. Solely by their musketry skill, they helped deter a brigade size assault over the narrowest point of the canal. We read his front-line account of their baptism of fire, and his later shrewd analysis of how the Turks should clearly have won, had they conformed to their German-authored plan. Colonel Brereton strongly identified with his soldiery; his concern clearly was with them rather than upwards towards his seniors, and the prospects of personal advancement. He describes the relevant skills brought by them from their rural pursuits. Personally cool under fire, he writes in an attractive, flowing style, quite lacking in military jargon, and with occasional dry humour, to which the reader will warm. This is whether discussing battle, desert training in Egypt, troopship journeys, inter-action with French civilians or the multiplicity of other incidents experienced in over four years of active service, at a responsible, but not tooelevated level. This second edition, edited by John H. Gray, CBE, an acknowledged authority on New Zealand in the Great War through his previous publications, and formerly a senior officer of the Territorial Force, has much more to offer than the original book. He has greatly benefited from the key assistance of Mrs Annie Coster, grand-daughter of the author, who as a child knew him well. She has entrusted to the editor, the Colonel's 270-page unpublished autobiography finalised in the 1950s. No longer influenced by the discretion necessarily imposed in 1926 when widows and children and former servicemen were still living, Brereton frankly recorded in it incidents of historic importance, that now demand exposure to the light of day in this centenary year of the war's commencement. Many verbatim Brereton extracts now illuminate the earlier, unaltered text, to which editorial comment and many illustrations and maps have also been added, to greatly widen its scope. Mrs Coster has also written an additional chapter to the Second Edition, of family and human interest, which she entitles The Fourth Campaign. All this new material now introduces Brereton the man of letters and distinguished Nelson regional identity, additionally to Brereton the man of action; thus much enlarging the character of the work. We read of his early life in a pioneer family in the Motueka River Valley. How he had to withdraw from Nelson College at aged 14 to manage his mother's 600 acre farm for the next eight years, when his father and older brother drowned in Tasman Bay - lost without trace. Of his career change as a dentist in Westport, the while continuing his military training in the Volunteers. Of his own post-war farming, cut short by the effects of his war wounds, and his later twenty-two-year career as Curator of the Nelson Museum.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 2012 facsimile reprint of the original. In very good condition, minimal shelf wear, dog earing to top corners pp. 447-500. John Douglas Publishing is delighted to be able to produce this work with kind permission from Manatu Taonga Ministry for Culture & Heritage. This is the official history of one of the greatest fighting infantry units of World War II, the 28(Maori) Battalion. We have done everything possible to ensure the book is as close to the original, printed in 1952. In this history you will read the whole story - how they went overseas from New Zealand in 1940, with the Second Echelon to England, to take part in 'The Battle of Britain'. When the threat of invasion diminished they re-embarked for the Middle East, and arrived in time to take part in the disastrous campaigns in Greece and Crete. Later they fought in the 1941 Libyan Campaign and in the battles in 1942 in defence of Egypt. Later, when the tide changed, they took an active part in the victorious Western Desert Campaign, under Generals Alexander and Montgomery. They finished the war in Italy on the 2nd May 1945. In all these many campaigns this Battalion took a great part, often a decisive part, in the fighting, as in the counter-attacks at Maleme and 42nd Street in the Cretan Campaign, or again in the Battle of Tebaga Gap, where gallant and young Ngarimu gained his posthumous Victoria Cross, or in the capture of Takrouna. But as glorious as these battles were, and as gallant and brave as was the Maori part, it is not only of their bravery but what fine fighting men they were. To know and appreciate their great qualities you must understand their background and their tribal traditions. Maori are a fighting race, and according to their traditions and in keeping with the laws of New Zealand, they did not come under the National Service Act, which called up men when they reached the military age. The Maori was always a volunteer. For them it was an honour to serve.…

Hardcover in Dustjacket. Zustand: AS NEW COPY. ANZAC MILITARY - Also TitledHoia toa Alfred Preece : tetahi o ngaÌ morehu o te Hoko Whitu a Tumatauenga This is the story of Alfred (Bunty) Preece of the Chatham Islands, soldier, farmer, local body politician, kaumatua and tireless advocate for his people. His recollections of the Italian Campaign of World War Two and the effect of those two-anda- half years were but the beginning of a lifetime of dedication to the welfare of others. It is written in the sincere hope that it will one day form part of the full history of D Company 28 (Maori) Battalion. This book is moving and inspirational. It is not a story about the glories of war - that is a romantic illusion of those who have never been to war, never been fired on or had to fire on others in the front lines. It is a story of personal sacrifice and bravery almost beyond description. It is also a story of the Maori people trying to achieve. This title has a full nominal roll of members of D Company, and has been translated into Maori.xiv, 128, xiv, 101 p. : ill., ports. ; 25 cm. #220323 First EditionIncludes bibliographical references and index.Text in English and MaÌori on inverted pages. 1.
