What was it really like for the soldiers of 2 New Zealand Division in World War 2? This anthology is a personal selection of material describing their experiences, mostly written from within its ranks. The extracts chosen by John Gordon are drawn from memoirs, fiction, verse, news reports and magazine articles. The result is a compilation of the written experiences of over 80 insiders, creating an intimate glimpse of life and war within ‘The Div’, from the declaration of war to the return home.

John Gordon has been involved in practical agriculture and journalism most of his working life. He is best known as the commentator of the television series, ‘A Dog’s Show’, which he also fronted for its 17-year run, and he has written and directed many documentaries for television, including episodes of ‘Country Calendar’. His interest in 2 New Zealand Division has its origins in his father’s war service from which he did not return and the post-war world he grew up in
