Description

On 16 September 1914 the Government announced the formation of a 'Maori Contingent' of 200 men for service with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. This was later expanded to 500 at the suggestion of the British War Office.

In this image members of the Maori Pioneer Battalion give a rousing farewell to visiting Prime Minister William Massey and Deputy Prime Minister Sir Joseph Ward who were departing after reviewing the troops.

The photograph was taken at Bois-de-Warnimont, France, 30 June 1918 by the Official NZEF photographer, Henry Armytage Sanders. Henry Armytage Sanders was an Official NZEF Photographer (service number 37194) appointed by the New Zealand Government to document the New Zealand Division during World War One.
