Mounted Rifles Regiment parading through Nelson

As in the South African War (1899–1902), New Zealand contributed men on horses to the First World War effort. They proved especially valuable in the Middle East. These members of the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Regiment are parading through Nelson on 18 August 1914.
