Looks like you 'colonials' travelled well. Well, here's a belated thanks from folk who needed all the help they could get.
As far as WW2 went New Zealand had forces all over the place, I had uncle's who served in Scotland, France, Greece, North Aftica, Italy and the Pacific so yeah they got around and surprisingly none were injured or arrested.
my family fought in greece, North africa, italy and above europe in WWII
hell....just look at the reputation the 28th (maori) battalion carved for itself.
i've always believed that both the aussies and kiwi's punch well above their weight in battle.
but then again, im biased lol
Nothing wrong with using the enemy's stuff against them.
