"New Zealand's artillery history began long before there was a Royal Regiment of New Zealand Artillery. The British used artillery in early colonial days, and Maori use of artillery was hampered by their hit-and-run style of fighting. Although New Zealand's guns have not been deployed in combat since the Vietnam War, her gunners maintain professional standards and have seen postings worldwide. Their personal experiences can be found in the Tales from the Trails section. There have been over forty artillery regiments in New Zealand and hundreds of batteries, groups and cadres. Information on individual NZ artillery units can be found in the Units section. Wherever possible, comment has been solicited from people who were present when the events being described occurred…" riv.co.nz/rnza/ochist.htm Hope you enjoy!. Amicalement

That's an interesting site, Armand.I have visited several of the guns listed on the "guns around New Zealand" page; I found the disappearing guns and their batteries on North Head to be fascinating for the engineering involved. Rick |
