Voices From a Border War

Publication Date: 10th March 2010

Author: Robert Gurr

The factual accounts of the preparation and commitment to active operations of a Regular New Zealand battalion are at the core of this narrative.
Confrontation was a low intensity conflict, though it had periods of great activity, and was not short on physical demands, or the need for sharp responses when the enemy was encountered.
The author has used official records, war diaries and Post Operational Reports to authenticate dates and events.

Maori in the Great War

Publication Date: Late October 2010

Author: James Cowan

Maori form a significant proportion of the modern New Zealand Army, and Maori officers have achieved the very highest commands, Their unique culture is deeply embedded in its tradition and daily routines; celebrated by Maori (indigenous) and pakeha (non-indigenous) soldiers alike.
The exploits of the 28th (Maori) Battalion in WWll - peerless in attack - are well-remembered. Not so well known is the major Maori contribution to the Allied cause in the Great War.
Maori were quick to respond in 1914. Over five times as many as the specified contingent of 500 men volunteered, and that number of places was allocated on a tribal basis.
As the centennial of the start of WWl approaches, it is timely to revise and republish Cowans 1926 work.
