Hi all,
Would anyone here happen to know what the puggarre colours were for the Pioneer Battalion in WWI? I suspect it's the same as the infantry's but I want to make sure it wasn't that of another branch, such as the Engineers.
Cheers

I had a look in Te Hokowhitu A Tu The Maori Pioneer Battalion in the first World War by C Pugsley. Unfortunately no mention of puggarre colour. It might be in NZ Army Distinguishing Patches 1911-1991 but I won't be able to check the copy in local library as away on holiday first thing tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply, fortunately today I managed to have a look at 'Whitiki! Whiti! Whiti! E!, Maori in the First World War' by Monty Soutar and indeed the Pioneers had the same puggaree colours as the infantry. Cheers |
