Hi Alan: The New Zealand Gazette regularly listed men who were called up under the Military Service Act, 1916. They were arranged by Recruiting District eg No 13, Dunedin; No 14 Southland; No 15, North Otago; or No 16, Clutha. By 1918 numbers were low (the "crisis" in recruiting), and in a list selected "by lot" from Class B of the Second Division dated 24 July most districts had only one or two names, and nine for Auckland District (No 1). The lists have full name, occupation and address, so it could be worth searching for Central Otago names (which Recruiting District?) in the Gazette if you are listing men from the area or trying to identify names on a memorial. The NZ Gazettes in PDF form at Archives or libraries are readily searchable. I suppose some of those listed would fail the medical or appealed so did not necessarily go into the NZDF. I understand grounds for appeal included hardship to family or employer, conscientious objection etc. Re soldiers who did not go overseas, one of the "confidential" files included returns of those who served in New Zealand and were thought deserving of some honour Don't know that they ever got one though! One served in Base records. Quite a few were training new recruits at camps like Trentham or Featherston. Those who arrived in German Samoa after 30 April 1914 got the British War Medal but not the Victory Medal as it was garrison duty not a war zone. Likewise service in Britain only; they qualified for the British War Medal as they had gone "over the seas". I think some of the Samoa Relief Forces were not passed as medically suitable for "active service" in a war zone. Yours, John Wilson > Hello John, > Thank you for checking the files out and for your information.

Hi All: The WWI NZSG CD has quite a number, 19, of John Currie entries (NZEF & Reserves, though some men will be listed twice). There is one entry for John Currie (last address Masterton) who is shown as a defaulter with NZEF No 10331. The Cenotaph database has No 10331 as William Edwards, who did go overseas with the 12th reinforcements, and he also has No 10331 in Archway. So was the John Currie arrested one of the 7 John Currie who were in the NZEF, or was he listed under another name after the arrest when he was handed back to the Army?. NB: John Currie; Nos 6/4018,11/988, 16075, 25676, 45292, 23/1606, 25374; last two not on CD as John Currie. Excluding John Currie with a middle name.
