    3. Derrick If you ever manage to get a transcript of the war diary for the regiment, I'd love to know. I was able to get a microfilm of a very small portion of it from the Australian War Memorial some years ago, but I believe they no longer provide films of this type as they are digitising the lot to go on line at a later date. There is an excellent book by 2nd Lieutenant Ormond E. Burton on the First, Second and Third Battalions of the regiment, but it was published in 1922, so it might be a bit difficult to get hold of (National Library of Australia has a copy, but that might not be much help to you). I have transcribed part of it, with a fairly detailed account of where the regiment was and when (sent off list). There are also Christopher Pugsley's "Gallipoli the New Zealand Story" and the 4 volume "Official History of New Zealand's Effort in the Great War" (Vol. I Gallipoli, Vol. II France, Vol. III Sinai & Palestine, Vol. 4 a miscellany including supply of reinforcements, Samoa, NZ army nurses, hospitals, hospital ships, dental corps, veterinary corps, finance, camps in England). Hope this helps Margaret ROSE Wagga Wagga NSW
