The title for this image is ‘Graph showing the strength of NZEF overseas by monthly totals – including embarkations, disembarkations and final disposition – from mobilization to demobilization’.
As well as detailing the changing numbers of soldiers serving in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force this graphic shows when each state declared war and severed diplomatic relations and when each of the central powers signed an armistice. It includes a list of principal operations the NZEF took part in, total casualties in different theatres of war and a table of honours and awards earned by NZEF force personnel.
This graph originally appeared in Record of personal services during the war (1928) by John Studholme. It is also available to download as a hi-resolution .jpg image here (22mbs).
