Maori Units of the NZEF

Fighting for Empire

Maori Pioneer Battalion flag

When the First World war broke out, the Maori response was varied. Some opposed fighting for a Crown that had dispossessed them of land in the 19th century. Many others were keen to serve, but at first they had few options. Imperial policy initially opposed the idea of native peoples fighting in a war among Europeans.

This view changed as casualties mounted and the need for reinforcements grew. A Native Contingent left New Zealand in early 1915. It had a combat role at Gallipoli before being re-formed as a Pioneer Battalion to serve on the Western Front.

By the end of the war, 2227 Maori and 458 Pacific Islanders had served in what became known as the Maori Pioneer Battalion. Of these, 336 died on active service and 734 were wounded. Other Maori enlisted (and died) in other battalions as well.

Private Kaipati

Kaipati came from the Gilbert and Ellice group to join the NZEF. A sergeant in the Ocean Island Police Constabulary, Kaipati was well known on the island - he was in charge of the surf boat that brought new arrivals ashore through terrifying waves.

Kaipati accompanied the Resident Commissioner of the Gilbert Islands on a trip to Fiji in 1915. The return voyage was via Auckland. Kaipati was very keen ‘to go to the Front’ and the Resident Commissioner agreed to release him. Kaipati enlisted and was sent to Narrow Neck Camp to join the Niueans and Cook Islanders already in training there.

Kaipati sailed with the 3rd Maori Reinforcements in February 1916. He served in Egypt and France until being invalided back to New Zealand in September 1917. When he was well enough to be discharged the New Zealand Government decided to pay for his repatriation to the Gilbert Islands because of the service he had given.

Pacific Islanders in NZEF

Niuean soldiers

The main indigenous Pacific contribution to the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) came from the Cook Islands and Niue, territories that had been annexed to New Zealand in 1901. The Niuean contingent and 1st Contingent of Cook Islanders provided reinforcements for the New Zealand (Maori) Pioneer Battalion in Egypt and then France. The 2nd and 3rd Cooks contingents, known as the Rarotongan Company, served with the British in the Sinai and Palestine campaigns against the Ottoman Turks. All were volunteers.

Cook Islanders and Niueans enlisted in their own countries and were sent to New Zealand as a group. Men from other Pacific islands had to make their own way to New Zealand to enlist. Those who arrived when the Niuean or Cook Island contingents were training were attached to them. Those who had the misfortune to arrive at other times were immediately returned home.

Gilbert Islanders at Narrow Neck camp

Fiji and the Gilbert and Ellice Islands were British colonies. In 1918 a Fijian offer to supply an ethnically mixed contingent was referred by the British Colonial Office to the New Zealand authorities. A similar offer came from the Gilbert and Ellice Islands. Both were accepted. These two groups were training in Auckland when the war ended in November 1918.

Pacific Island soldiers faced many difficulties during the war. Most spoke no English and many struggled to adjust to the army diet and wearing boots. The greatest danger, though, was European diseases, especially in the cold climate of northern France.

NZEF rugby jersey

This jersey was worn by Stan Young during the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force (2NZEF) rugby team tour of the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Germany, 1945-46.

The 2NZEF team, dubbed the 'Kiwis', played 33 matches on tour, losing only two, and scoring over 600 points. Known for their entertaining brand of rugby, the team included All Black greats such as Bob Scott, Fred Allen and Charlie Saxton.

War-weary New Zealand was able to follow the tour through the radio commentary of sports broadcaster Winston McCarthy, who accompanied the team. McCarthy's iconic commentaries were the first live rugby broadcasts to New Zealand from the United Kingdom.

Freyberg takes command of NZ expeditionary force

The First World War hero Bernard Freyberg was British-born but New Zealand-raised. He proved to be a charismatic and popular military leader and would later serve a term as Governor-General.

Having retired from the British army because of a heart problem in 1937, Freyberg offered his services to the New Zealand government on the outbreak of the Second World War. Appointed to command the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force and its fighting arm, the 2nd New Zealand Division, he was to lead their campaigns in Greece, North Africa and Italy.

The Anzacs

Homecoming from Gallipoli

The word Anzac is part of the culture of New Zealanders and Australians. People talk about the 'spirit of Anzac'; there are Anzac biscuits, and rugby or rugby league teams from the two countries play an Anzac Day test. The word conjures up a shared heritage of two nations, but it also has a specific meaning.

Anzac is the acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. This corps was created early in the Great War of 1914–18. In December 1914 the Australian Imperial Force and New Zealand Expeditionary Force stationed in Egypt were placed under the command of Lieutenant General William Birdwood. Initially the term Australasian Corps was suggested, but Australians and New Zealanders were reluctant to lose their separate identities completely.

No one knows who came up with the term Anzac. It is likely that Sergeant K.M. Little, a clerk at Birdwood's headquarters, thought of it for use on a rubber stamp: 'ANZAC' was convenient shorthand. Later the corps used it as their telegraph code word.

The Anzacs first saw action at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. The small cove where the Australian and New Zealand troops landed was quickly dubbed Anzac Cove. Soon the word was being used to describe all Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Eventually, it came to mean any Australian or New Zealand soldier.

After Gallipoli

There were two Anzac corps on the Western Front from 1916, with the New Zealand Division serving in II Australian and New Zealand Army Corps until early 1918. During the Sinai–Palestine campaign the combined Australian and New Zealand Mounted Division was more commonly called the Anzac Mounted Division.

The term continued into other wars. A new Anzac corps was briefly formed during the campaign in Greece in 1941. During the Vietnam War, New Zealand and Australian infantry companies combined to form the Anzac Battalion.

Fatalities - Anzac Day

New Zealand's Anzac dead, 25 April 1915

The New Zealanders began to land on the beaches at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli from about 9 a.m. on 25 April. At the end of the day, more than 100 had died.

This list of 147 fatalities of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) was collated from Commonwealth War Graves Commission records. The exact date of death cannot be verified for 23 of those listed, and this is shown as, for example, 'died 25 April–1 May'. This list does not include those who were mortally wounded on 25 April 1915 and died at a later date.

Most of those who died on 25 April have no known grave. They are commemorated on the Lone Pine Memorial on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The number before the memorial denotes the panel on which the name appears; for those with cemetery references, the letter and number denote the grave's row and plot location.

Anzac Day – a guide for New Zealanders has a searchable database of all New Zealanders who died at Gallipoli.
