Guilford Military Servicemen - WW1

In 1910-1911 New Zealand organised a Territorial Force of some 30,000 men, with permanent staff and an expanded General Headquarters. New weapons and improved training allowed New Zealand to offer Britain an expeditionary force immediately when war broke out on 4 August 1914, and there were enough volunteers until 1916 to fill the numbers required for the force and its reinforcements. Conscription was introduced in 1916 to maintain force numbers as news of Gallipoli and the conditions in the trenches in Belgium and France was relayed home - war was not the �glorious adventure� originally portrayed.

In the First World War, just over 100,000 troops left New Zealand serving overseas in Samoa, Gallipoli, Sinai-Palestine, Belgium and France. Of those, more than 16,000 lost their lives and over 41,000 were wounded, a very high casualty rate.
