Ken Lees Posted 16 April , 2007 Posted 16 April , 2007 Can anyone clarify for me the following: I have seen a number of NZ infantry unit designations on CWGC such as the one below. Did this man serve in the 4th Battalion of the 3rd NZ Rifle Brigade? Name: ANSTIS, PERCY Initials: P Nationality: New Zealand Rank: Lance Corporal Regiment/Service: New Zealand Rifle Brigade Unit Text: 4th Bn. 3rd Thanks, Ken
Terry Denham Posted 16 April , 2007 Posted 16 April , 2007 Yes. You have got it. All units of the NZ Rifle Brigade are kept together by CWGC under the one 'Regiment' and their specific unit listed as the 'Unit Text'.
Ken Lees Posted 16 April , 2007 Author Posted 16 April , 2007 Thanks Terry, that clears up my confusion.
Captain Dave Posted 17 April , 2007 Posted 17 April , 2007 Rather confusing in retrospect! Why there wasn't a simpler ID system is always a mystery to me.
