alf mcm Posted 16 March , 2010 Share Posted 16 March , 2010 Hello Allan, Welcome to the Forum. Allan's service records are available at New Zealand Archives at www.archway.archives.govt.nz, Unfortunately they have not yet been digitised, so you would have to order a paper copy, or wait until they are digitised. Regards, Alf McM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 16 March , 2010 Share Posted 16 March , 2010 Allan, "The New Zealand Division 1916-19" by Col. H. Stewart is a very detailed yet readable account of the New Zealanders in France. It has been republished in paperback. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Macpherson Posted 7 August , 2010 Share Posted 7 August , 2010 Allan Check out your Blog, I have posted a few links for you relating to Rifleman Allan Campbell http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?app=blog&module=display§ion=blog&blogid=411&showentry=1146 Also regarding the comment above, it's not worth waiting for the files to be digitalised, you'll be waiting forever. Archways only digitise the files and have them available on-line after you have paid for a file copy. Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
