christine liava'a Posted 22 October , 2004 Share Posted 22 October , 2004 NZ troops began leaving for the war in October 1914 As early as October 1914 the New Zealand Expeditionary Force sailed from Wellington. Diverted from their original destination in Europe, the New Zealanders were landed in Egypt, where they helped repulse a Turkish attack on the Suez Canal in February 1915.

Andrew P Posted 27 October , 2004 Share Posted 27 October , 2004 Hi Christine Many years ago I recall seeing a photo of New Zealand troops of that first contingent going for a route march in Albany WA when the troopships waited there before going off to Egypt.
