22nd Battalion 2NZEF
"Vrai et Fort"
The 22nd was the longest serving of
the NZ Infantry battalions.
Although its officers assembled earlier, the Battalion marched into
Trentham on 18th January 1940 and was eventually disbanded in Japan on
7th August 1947 to become the 2nd Battalion of the NZ Army.
This website has been set up
to provide a collection of information and photographs about the 22
Battalion and its people, starting with a collection of photographs
documenting the last days of the war on 2-4 May 1945 as the 22nd
entered Trieste.
It is intended to add information
and especially photographs of the life
and times of the 22nd. If you have photographs that you would like to
share, please contact me. I am especially keen to obtain copies of
personal photo albums. Scanned copies preferred, but I am able to scan
all formats of photos so that they can be electronically archived.
Photos will be carefully handled and returned.
The 22nd Battalion - 2nd to none!
