Post Marks: The Way We Were - Early New Zealand Postcards, 1897-1922 by Leo Haks; Colleen Dallimore; Alan Jackson

$65.00 NZD

Category: Early New Zealand | Reading Level: New

The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to New Zealand picture postcards beginning in 1897, when the first official postcard was published. The 25-year period that this book covers includes the boon years in New Zealand postcard production, 1903-1910 and World War 1. As a lifelong collector, Leo Haks wondered what visual material would catch his eye when he moved to New Zealand to live with his partner and co-author Colleen Dallimore. Good examples of early New Zealand photographs were hard to find: however, many had been reproduced as postcards. This book is the result of collecting postcards through eight years of buying postcards in second-hand shops, from dealers and on-line. ...Show more

Armentieres and the Somme by Cecil B. Malthus

$32.00 NZD

Category: General NZ Military History

Armentières and the Somme is the previously unpublished companion volume to Anzac: A Retrospect. In it, Malthus relates the experiences in France of the New Zealand Division, from their departure on 5th April 1916 from Moaskar Camp on the Suez Canal until September when he was injured by a bomb, having survived the Allied offensive on the Somme in July. The New Zealand Division at that time comprised troops who had served at Gallipoli, bolstered by reinforcements from New Zealand. Written in the same informal but intelligent style as Anzac: A Retrospect, and drawing on his recollections, letters and diaries, Malthus’ real achievement in writing this book is his unsentimental yet humane description of the New Zealanders’ part in the war. He states that he is not a supporter of war, but is unwavering in his belief of the necessity of this war, and the part the New Zealand troops played in it. Anzac: A Retrospect was published in 1965 to great acclaim. Armentières and the Somme has not been published before and is now issued posthumously.
