New Zealand Archive on German Colonial Medals

[Chris Dale]

I stumbled across the New Zealand Archives last night where they have digitised many of the German documents they captured on Samoa in 1914. There's an awful lot there to go through including service files on individuals, a file on military matters, loads of trading forms-

But perhaps most interesting for us, a file on Medals and Orders. I'm midway through reading handwritten lists of all the overseas engagements that qualified for a Colonial Service Medal-

Nice find! I have yet to look through it all, but it seems there's a lot of interesting stuff in there.

Thank you for bringing this to this forum's attention.

I want to take some time to really look through this.
