‘Those Who Have the Courage will be a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in the military and social history of New Zealand. It is a comprehensive history of the Royal New Zealand Armoured Corps, the Mounted Rifles and predecessor units ...’ — Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro, from the Foreword The product of painstaking, multi-year research by esteemed historian and author Matthew Wright, this richly illustrated hardback is a must-have for the history reader. Part 1 covers the colonial cavalry that fought in the NZ Wars and Anglo-Boer War, then Part 2 moves to the Mounted Rifles distinguishing themselves in the First World War, at the end of which the tank came into play. Part 3 describes the Armoured Corps’ varied roles in the Second World War; Part 4 details what Wright calls an ‘armoured evolution’, through actions from the Korean War to Vietnam and Part 5 records action in East Timor and Afghanistan, and modern challenges, rounding out this readable story. The appendices include rolls of honour, lists of vehicles and organisational charts.

Endurance was an inherent part of the First World War. The chapters in this collection explore the concept in New Zealand and Australia. Researchers from a range of backgrounds and disciplines address what it meant for New Zealanders and Australians to endure the First World War, and how the war endured through the Twentieth Century. Soldiers and civilians alike endured hardship, discomfort, fears and anxieties during the war. Officials and organisations faced unprecedented demands on their time and resources, while Maori, Australian Aborigines, Anglo-Indian New Zealanders and children sought their own ways to contribute and be acknowledged. Family-members in Australia and New Zealand endured uncertainty about their loved ones’ fates on distant shores. Once the war ended, different forms of endurance emerged as responses, memories, myths and memorials quickly took shape and influenced the ways in which New Zealanders and Australians understood the conflict. The collection is divided into the themes of Institutional Endurance, Home Front Endurance, Battlefield Endurance, Race and Endurance, and Memorials.

The history of the New Zealand Empire Forces in the Great War is a heroic and a proud one, and this unusually full and frank regimental history does justice to a regiment that was at the centre of the struggle. The authors attribute the regiment s outstanding record to a happy combination of a reasonable discipline - not enough to prejudice initiative, but sufficient to get a maximum team result . The history records the departure of the regiment from its Wellington home, its training and baptism of fire in the Egyptian desert and its leading part in the gallant but doomed Gallipoli campaign against the Turks, in which it served continuously from the first landings in April 1915 to the eventual evacuation in December of that year. The regiment, now forming part of the New Zealand Division, fought around Armentieres before and after the battle of the Somme, in which it also served at Fricourt and Flers. The regiment had its first taste of the Ypres Salient in Ploogsteert Wood, before taking part in the triumphant Battle of Messines in June 1917, after which it was plunged into the third Ypres (Passchendaele) campaign at Gravenstafel, Wieltje and Polygon Wood. After the German Spring offensives of 1918, the regiment was sent south to the Somme to help plug the gap in the line punched by the enemy, seeing hard fighting around Mailly Mailly and Colincamps. The regiment s battalions took part in the Allied counter-offensives in the summer and autumn of 1918, experiencing much tough fighting crossing the St Quentin canal. The Wellington regiment ended its war after the Armistice by crossing the Rhine into Germany. This fine history is illustrated with 40 vivid photographs; a Roll of Honour and a list of awards and honours , as well as two maps.

This history describes the work carried out by the Field Companies, Field Troops, Signal Troop, and Wireless Troop of the NZ Engineers during operations in Samoa (1914-1915); Egypt, Gallipoli, Sinai and Palestine (1914-1918); France, Belgium and Germany (1916-1919); and Mesopotamia (1916-1918). In his preface, Major Annabell comments on the difficulties in preparing this account as a large number of war diaries, the notes prepared for the Field Troops history and various other records never reached New Zealand, and the bare material available from existing diaries and records was insufficient to produce a worthwhile history. So it was decided to introduce a personal note and an appeal was sent out for details of any noteworthy exploits in the field, any incidents of a sensational, amusing or humorous nature and any facts concerning the Corps that it was felt should be chronicled and any suggestions which would tend towards the general improvement of the Regimental History. It has to be said that the effort was eminently worthwhile and the result is a fine history providing a memorable record of life on active service which began at New Zealand s backdoor, Samoa, a German possession which was occupied in August 1914 by a NZ force that included two sections of an engineer field company without a shot being fired. The list of Honours and Awards is headed by the Victoria Cross, a posthumous award to Sgt Forsyth in August 1918 while he was attached to an infantry battalion on probation for a commission. The Roll of Honour lists 215 officers and men who died. The NZ sappers saw active service in all theatres except Macedonia; they provided wireless troops in Mesopotamia and Persia. There is a list of all the officers who served with the NZ Engineers, 89 in all of whom 36 gained commissions in the field.

Young Cargo who had recently been promoted to Lt was killed in the trenches the night before last. A splendid young fellow – soldier-officer. Very sad really. Still, no better death. Perhaps the greatest leader of men during the Gallipoli campaign, Lieutenant-Colonel W.G. Malone was commanding officer of Wellington Battalion of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force at Gallipoli. He is probably the best-known individual from that ill-fated campaign, a result both of his humanity and his superb leadership, which culminated in the successful assault on Chunk Bair on 8 August 1915. Malone was killed later that day. No Better Death reproduces previously unpublished correspondence and writings, as well as many images, also previously unpublished, generously provided by Malone's descendants, generously provided by Malone's descendants. This is a story of valour and fortitude under the enormous pressure of being responsible for the lives of many others. It is also the story of a man who has an unbounded love for his family, and constantly drew on the reciprocity of that love to pull through and overcome the frustrations, fear and life-threatening situations he was forced to endure.
