Appeal to find 2NZEF Battalion Group Members

The NZ Army is appealing for 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) Infantry Battalion members from both the 2nd and 3rd Divisions to come forward as representatives of their Battalions to be presented with commemorative banners recognising the service of their units.

Eighteen NZ Army Battalions that served in WWII are to be presented with a commemorative banner in a special ceremony at Defence House.

The banners, similar to British legion flags, serve as a symbol of the sacrifice while serving for King and Country and will provide something for each unit to affiliate to as they are handed from generation to generation.
