What this roll records

Online Cenotaph record found in August 2026. A STOREMAN in civilian life; he embarked as a PRIVATE of the 29th (MIXED) BATTALION, Third Echelon (2NZEF Nominal Roll 3, p.236), with a second embarkation with Infantry Reinforcements (Nominal Roll 4, p.176). Later service: B FORCE, 8th BRIGADE, NEW ZEALAND 3rd DIVISION — the Pacific. Source: Auckland War Memorial Museum Online Cenotaph, record 138894.

The prefix NZ has been added to his service number, on the authority of the Auckland War Memorial Museum Online Cenotaph record already linked on this card — the Museum holds him as a New Zealand service person. The digits are unchanged. This roll formerly left the number unmarked, which made it look like a British number to anyone reading the field rather than the card.
