Greenwoodman Posted 6 July , 2004 Share Posted 6 July , 2004 Going is a famous name in rugby circles. Sid was a very well-respected All-Black. His nephew Vaughan has been playing for Sale Sharks for 4 seasons, and has just left to play (we think) in France. Vaughan played for the Hong Kong international side.

Guest stevenbec Posted 6 July , 2004 Share Posted 6 July , 2004 Chris, Just a question. Do you know if NZ published a casulty return during the war? Did they list units And does it show the soldiers in the Camel Corps on it? Also did your papers publish pitures of her soldiers before embarking and at war and if so how can I look for Camel Corps soldiers. I did have trouble finding these soldiers due to their listing under there original units not the Camel Corps. Thanks for any insight. S.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christine liava'a Posted 7 July , 2004 Author Share Posted 7 July , 2004 Hi Steve, I don't know about casualty returns except for the NZ Weekly News which published weekly lists of injured , dead, etc often with small photos, which is what I am using. But I have never seen anything about camelliers. These photos were not official, but supplied by family. There are not individual photos of NZ troops, except for a few who got high awards. There are many group shots, often by official photographers, and often unidentified. I will do some searching for camel corps members, I think there is a book about them. This is a NZ Camel Corps, not AIF , I take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevenbec Posted 7 July , 2004 Share Posted 7 July , 2004 Yes Chris, The 15th and 16th NZ Companies to the Camel Corps were raised in Egypt in 1916 from reinforcements to the Mounted Regts. I have had no luck in finding there details as they are mostly list as there perent units Eg; Canterbury MR and so forth. Take 7/778 Sgt Leslie Dudgeon Purves from Timaru NZ won the DCM in Egypt with the Camel Corps or 13/2580 Sgt Albert George Hooper DCM from Makarau NZ. Just to name some I would like photos of.

Guest stevenbec Posted 9 July , 2004 Share Posted 9 July , 2004 Thanks Chris, Capt Bax (Initals not known), Capt Black (initals not known), Capt JB Davis (later Maj) Capt Goode (inital not known) Capt HC Hemphill , Capt Lusk (initals not known), Capt John G. McCallum no 7/796, DoW 11-1-17 Capt Roy S. Priest KIA 19-4-17 and Capt GF Yerex. These are the easy ones for photos if found as they were the commanding officers of these companies at different times. Also any details on those I don't have would be good.
