Strangely, there is as yet no major study of New Zealand's participation
on the western front. Most of this chapter has been based on war diaries
of the New Zealand First Division and the First, Second and Third Bri-
gades held in the War Archives series at National Archives, Colonel H.
Stewart, The Official History of New Zealand's Effort in the Great War. The
New Zealand Division, Volume 2, France (Wellington, 1921), and Ian Mc-
Gibbon, The Oxford Companion to New Zealand Military History. Also see N.
Boyack and Jane Tolerton, In the Shadow of War (Auckland, 1991), for sol-
diers'
recollections. On Passchendaele see
Glynn
Harper, Massacre at Pas-
scendaele: The New Zealand Story (Auckland, 2000). On the spring offensive
in general see Martin Middlebrook, The Kaiser's Battle 21 March 1918: The
First Day of the German Offensive (London, 1983). On New Zealand's part
see Paul Enright, "Repelling the Hun," in Milestones, Tom Brooking with
Paul Enright, 133-39, Glynn Harper, Spring Offensive: New Zealand and the
Second Battle of the
Somme
(Auckland, 2003). Christopher Pugsley, On the
Fringe of
Hell:
New Zealanders and Military Discipline in the First World War
(Auckland, 1991), adds much about the practices and problems of the New
Zealand Army. On Maori involvement see Christopher Pugsley, Hokowhitu
a Tu: The Maori Pioneer Battalion in the First World War (Auckland, 1995).
The four major literary accounts of the First World War also tell us much
about both soldier and civilian experience of the war: Burton's powerful
and personal account, The Silent Division; John A. Lee's novel, Civilian into
Soldier (Auckland, 1963, first published 1937); Robyn Hyde's novel based
on the story of James Douglas Stark, Passport
to
Hell, edited and introduced
by
D.I.B.
Smith (Auckland, 1986, first published 1936); and Archibald Bax-
ter's compelling autobiography of his pacifist protest, We Will Not Cease,
2nd ed. (Christchurch, 1968, first published 1938).
On the home front and the conscription debate see Erik Olssen, "Waging
War," in The
People
and the
Land,
ed. Binney, Bassett, and Olssen, 299-318;
Paul Baker, King and Country Call: New Zealanders, Conscription and the
Great War (Auckland, 1988); and Jock Phillips, A Man's Country?

On internal Maori developments during the First World War see Judith
Binney, Gillian Chaplin, and Craig Wallace,
