LES OBJECTIFS DU PROJET

Il y a 100 ans, plus d'un néo-zélandais sur 9 est venu se battre sur le front occidental pour défendre des pays

dont ils ne savaient rien mais des valeurs qu'ils partageaient. 66% d'entre eux sont morts ou sont rentrés

blessés physiquement. Pour rendre hommage à ce sacrifice, il nous a semblé essentiel d'en parler en cours et

de proposer la possibilité d'approfondir ce sujet en familiarisant nos élèves à cet engagement à travers la

rencontre de leurs homologues néo-zélandais. Nous sommes persuadés que des contacts humains sont les

meilleurs vecteurs de cette mémoire.

19 élèves vont participer au projet. De nombreuses matières et de nombreux points des différents

programmes pourront être explorés (cf pistes ci-dessous). Ces sujets seront proposés aux élèves qui devront

en choisir un pour faire une présentation durant le séjour à leurs correspondants (par groupes de deux ou

trois élèves). Le séjour devra leur permettre, lors des visites et des échanges avec les élèves et la communauté

éducative de notre lycée partenaire de Christchurch, de compléter leur travail en y ajoutant des exemples

concrets. Ils devront préparer des questions précises à poser aux diverses personnes que nous rencontrerons

pendant le projet afin d’arriver à mener à bien des productions pertinentes. Il leur sera demandé pendant le

séjour au sein du lycée de présenter le fruit de leur travail. Les travaux seront réunis au sein d’un blog après

le retour.

En amont, élèves seront sollicités pour certaines des activités proposées lors de la venue des élèves de

Christchurch au lycée Carnot début octobre (les Néo zélandais seront accueillis par des élèves de

terminale mais les élèves de première qui participeront au projet seront sollicités pour assister à l'accueil

officiel par l'administration le jeudi 5 octobre, la découverte du hakka, etc).

Le projet des élèves néo-zélandais est visible sur ce site:

http://sharedhistories.com/what/projects/item/543-from-concept-to-realisation

Il s’agit également de développer l’ouverture de ces élèves sur le monde, nous avons la chance de pouvoir

découvrir une culture d’un autre hémisphère, teintée d’influences variées qui ne manquera pas de faire

prendre conscience à nos élèves de la relativité et de la diversité des cultures. L’immersion en famille

d’accueil et au sein du lycée de Christchurch sera un élément majeur dans cette expérience car nos élèves se

seront présentés avant leur arrivée et leur séjour donnera une dimension concrète aux échanges préalables.

Nous espérons pouvoir ensuite rendre le projet pérenne en faisant en sorte que les liens tissés entre les divers

participants continuent et que ces déplacements puissent se reproduire dans les années suivantes avec

d’autres élèves, donnant ainsi à ce premier déplacement une véritable valeur inaugurale.

Les années 2017 et 2018 étant particulièrement chargées en symboles du fait du centenaire de la Grande

Guerre, cette dimension prendra en amont une place importante dans les travaux effectués en classe en cours

d’Anglais et d’Histoire. La participation et le sacrifice des troupes de l’ANZAC étant un sujet qui nous

tient particulièrement à cœur, les élèves y seront sensibilisés quel que soit le choix du sujet traité au final.

C’est ce sujet qui a initialement motivé l’ensemble du projet et le partenariat avec Shirley Highschool à

Christchurch, le rôle de ces hommes et de ces femmes nous paraissant trop souvent ignoré des jeunes

générations. C’est pourquoi la visite de Wellington et du musée de la guerre ainsi que du Te Papa s’imposent

avant notre arrivée à Christchurch. Le projet est d’ailleurs inscrit sur le site sharedhistories.com puisque le

thème du centenaire est celui qui lui a donné naissance et qui nous a amenés à trouver ce lycée partenaire à

Christchurch (Shirley Highschool) où la collègue, Mme Lallemant, s’investit beaucoup sur le sujet de la

mémoire de la Grande Guerre et a pu envoyer un de ses élèves à Arras lors des commémorations dans le

cadre du projet « Young Ambassador ».

HISTOIRE GEOGRAPHIE – PREMIERES.

THEME : THE ANZAC – WARFARE EXPERIENCE

Key question: To what extent did the role of the ANZAC nurses go beyond medical care during WWI?

Main sources :

Extract from Anne Donnell's diary, a nurse in Bullecourt, in the North of France, May 1917

« There was one dear laddie in a corner bed with terrible wounds in his back that my heart went out to,

and his people had not come yet. There was no time to special the patients, one just did what one could

do for each, and then that was, I thought, a case of survival of the fittest. The days were gone before you

knew, and you felt you had accomplished nothing. But this laddie in the corner, I thought, shall have

special care, and matron had brought him some lovely oranges that he fancied, so I quielty sat down and

fed him and told me he would be mine until his mother came. […] Next morning when I went on duty,

his bed was empty, just another one of the many there that made the supreme sacrifice. His parents

arrived – too late to see him, but I was so thankful to be able to give them his last message of love. »

Extract from Sister Florence James-Wallace's diary, as the nures are evacuated from an hospital

that has been bombed near Amiens, April 1918 :

« We were too hurried to think of the effect our leaving would have on [the wounded]. I will never forget

the expression on their faces when they saw we were going. ''Oh they are leaving us'', ''they are going'',

I heard one man say. I went back to tell him we were going on a truck train and they would be going as

soon as the hospital train arrived. It didn't seem to comfort him much. They looked as if their last hope

had gone, poor thing, we hated leaving them, and it made us realise our being there meant more than the

actual work we did. »

Key question: How has New Zealand commemorated their commitment in WWI ?

MAIN SOURCE

The War Memorial in Cathedral Sq, Christchurch, NZ.

Unveiled in 1937

The tribute carved in the stone of the pedestal

Why was this conflict so important for New Zealand?

ADDITIONAL SOURCE

You may use it to illustrate, complement or add nuances to your commentary of the main source.

At the base of the monument...is the figure of sacrifice, a mother with bowed head and outstretched arms

and a face of both love and resignation. On the next level on the left is the figure of youth, perhaps the

child of the mother (…). On the other side is another male figure, older, sterner, looking back down (…)

Between the two male figures are two women - a younger and very beautiful woman carrying an olive

branch in one hand and a dove clutched to her bosom in the other. (…) An older woman (…) and in her

hands the scales and sword of justice. Finally the grouping of statues builds up to the dramatic angel

about to break the sword of war. Originally she was to be the figure of victory, but in the end it was

decided that it would be inappropriate to call her this.

WELCOMING SPEECH, OCTOBER 5TH 2017

Dear Mrs Lallemant, Mrs Zivkovic deputy mayor, Mr Headmaster, Mr and mrs Deputy headmasters, dear pupils, teachers and friends,

Chère madame Lallemant, Madame Zikovic, Monsieur le Proviseur, Monsieur et madame les proviseurs adjoints, chers élèves, chers amis et enseignants

We are delighted to welcome you in our highschool today and therefore to inaugurate the first part of our exchange programme commemorating the centenary of the First World War.

Nous sommes ravis de vous accueillir dans notre lycée aujourd'hui et d'inaugurer ainsi la première partie de notre partenariat visant à commémorer le centenaire de la première guerre mondiale.

We are here in front of the monument erected in 1920 in memory of the Frenchmen who died in these walls as our highschool was turned into a hospital during the conflict. Thousands of men suffered here and the names of the four hundred who passed away are on the plaques in front of us.

Nous sommes ici devant le monument érigé en 1920 en mémoire aux Français morts dans l'enceinte du lycée puisqu'il a servi d'hôpital pendant ce conflit. Des milliers d'hommes ont souffert ici, et le nom des 400 d'entre eux qui n'ont pas survécu figurent sur la plaque qui est devant nous.

Our city, our country were crippled by this total war. But it was a world war, and no one could best epitomize this grim fact than you…

Notre ville, notre pays, ont été atteints dans leur chair par cette guerre totale. Il s'agissait d'une guerre mondiale, et nul n'est mieux placé que vous pour l'illustrer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One hundred years ago, one hundred, twenty nine thousand of your children crossed half of the world and came to fight with us on the western front. Most of them never returned, or returned wounded in their flesh.

Il y a 100 ans, 129000 de vos enfants ont parcouru la moitié de la planète pour venir se battre à nos côtés sur le front occidental. La plupart d'entre eux ne sont jamais rentrés, ou sont rentrés blessés.

Many had come voluntarily, carried away by the fierceness of their youth, often lying about their age because they wanted to be sure they would be sent to War. We are here today to pay tribute to these children of your nation and to express our gratitude.

Beaucoup étaient venus de façon volontaire, emportés par la fougue de leur jeunesse, allant jusqu'à mentir sur leur âge tant ils voulaient partir à la guerre. Nous sommes ici

10

10

aujourd'hui pour rendre hommage à ces enfants de votre nation et pour exprimer notre gratitude.

We say thank you to all those, whatever their personal stories, origin and social background, who came to fight on our side.

Nous remercions tous ceux qui, quelles qu'aient été leurs histoires personnelles ou leur origine sociale, sont venus combattre à nos côtés.

We say thank you to all those who contributed to show the whole world that the way of truth and love always wins.

Nous remercions tous ceux qui ont contribué à montrer au monde entier que le chemin de la vérité et de l'amour finit toujours par l'emporter,

We say thank you to all those who gave their life, their energy and their dedication to proove that although sometimes tyrants and murderers seem invincible, in the end they always fall.

Nous remercions tous ceux qui ont donné leur vie, leur énergie et leur dévouement pour prouver que, même si parfois les tyrans et les meurtriers semblent invincibles, ils finissent toujours par tomber.

We say thank you to the children, fathers and mothers of New Zealand for this painful sacrifice.

Nous remercions tles enfants, les pères et les mères de Nouvelle-Zélande pour ce douloureux sacrifice.

And finally, because we also want to celebrate the friendship that has tied our countries, we want to say to you thank you for being here. For bringing us this token of friendship and shared histories.

Enfin, parce que nous voulons aussi célébrer l'amitié qui unit nos deux pays, nous vous remercions chaleureusement d'être ici. De nous avoir apporté ce symbole d'amitié et d'histoire partagée.

Thank you for this experience meant to mix cultures and generations. An experience also meant to recall the spirit of remembrance that ties our peoples eternally, a spirit which is so meaningful nowadays and which we deeply want to put forward, lest we forget.

Merci pour cette expérience qui vise à mélanger les cultures et les générations. Une expérience visant aussi à mettre à l'honneur le devoir de mémoire qui lie nos peuples pour toujours, un devoir qui prend de plus en plus de sens de nos jours et que nous désirons vivement mettre en avant, afin de ne pas oublier.

LECTURES COMPLEMENTAIRES

What is Anzac Day and why is it important to commemorate?

25 April 2017

What is Anzac Day?

Anzac Dayfalls on April 25 each year and marks the anniversary of the landing by Australian and New

Zealand troops at Gallipoli – in Turkey - in 1915. This was the first significant military action fought by

Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.

The day now serves as a remembrance in Australia for troops that served in all wars.

Who were the Anzacs?

The Anzacs were the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. They were formed in Egypt and fought

under overall British command. Unlike most European armies at the time, the force was made up of

volunteers.

Why is it such an important day in Australia?

For Australia, the landing at Gallipoli and subsequent battle were both a tragedy and a source of great

national pride.

The attempt to capture the Gallipoli peninsula and quickly defeat the Turks ultimately failed. Australia lost

8,141 soldiers during a bloody and eventually hopeless campaign that lasted eight months before ending in

a stalemate.

But the Anzac forces won great admiration for their bravery. At the time, Australia had been a nation for just

fourteen years. In subsequent decades, the fighting at Gallipoli increasingly took on a symbolic status.

12

12

This was aided by depictions such as the 1981 movie Gallipoli, starring Mel Gibson and directed by Peter

Weir, which presented the troops as brave and selfless forces who died, somewhat pointlessly, under the

command of aloof and heartless British generals.

Though the historic significance of the battle continues to be debated, its symbolic stature has only

strengthened in recent years.

The Federal Government’s website says: "The spirit of Anzac recognises the qualities of courage, mateship

and sacrifice which were demonstrated at the Gallipoli landing."

How is the day commemorated?

Commemorative services are held at dawn on 25 April to mark the time of the original Gallipoli landing.

Services are held at war memorials across the nation, usually including two minutes of silence, broken by

the Last Post bugle call, followed by marches of veterans and their families.

It has been a public holiday in Australia since 1927.

In recent years, growing numbers of Australians have travelled to Gallipoli to mark the service at the site of

the landing.

What is two-up?

Anzac Day is the only day of the year when it is legal in all states to play two-up, a gambling game that was

popular among the Australian troops in First World War. The game allows people to gamble on coin tosses

involving two coins.

Traditionally played with old pennies, the coins must fly ten feet high and fall within a marked ring.

Though the rules can vary, players typically gamble on whether the coins land with two heads up or two

tails up, and the spinner, or coin tosser, spins again if there is a head and a tail (known as an "odds").

Anzac Day: What is it, and why is it celebrated in Australia and New Zealand?

This year it will be the 101st anniversary of the Gallipoli landing and the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day

itself

Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) cadets take part in the Anzac Day march in Sydney, Australia, EPA

What is it?

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that marks the anniversary of

the first major military action fought by Australians and New Zealanders during the First World War.

Observed on 25 April every year, Anzac Day originally honoured the members of the Australian and New

Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought the Ottoman Empire in Gallipoli.

Later, Anzac Day also served to commemorate the lives of Australians who died in the Second World War,

and now the day has been broadened to include those who lost their lives in all Australian military and

peacekeeping operations.

This year it will be the 101st anniversary of the Gallipoli landing and the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day

itself.

Why is it celebrated?

During World War One, Australia fought on the side of the Commonwealth, with the ultimate objective

of capturing Constantinopole, the capital of the Ottoman Empire and an ally of Germany.

This involved the Gallipoli campaign, which saw 8,000 Australian soldiers die in an attempt to capture the

peninsula in order to turn the Dardanelles over to the allied navies.

Both sides ended up with heavy casualties and endured much hardship.

The Gallipoli campaign had a profound impact on Australia and New Zealand, helping them establish a

reputation among the nations of the world.

The ‘Anzac legend’ became a powerful part of the identity of both countries.

14

14

How is it celebrated?

The day of national remembrance takes two forms.

The first is through commemorative services held across the nation at dawn, because the half-light of dawn

is one of the times still favoured by the Australian Army for launching an attack. This year, the national

Dawn Service will be held at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, the country’s capital, starting at

4.30am. Millions of Australians are expected to attend the traditional services in honour of those who have

served.

Later on in the day, former servicemen and women assemble to take part in marches through the nations’

major cities. Australians and New Zealanders can either take part or watch on the sidelines, waving national

flags to support the marchers.

Special food, such as Anzac Day biscuits, is also eaten. An Anzac biscuit is made from rolled oats, flour,

sugar, butter, golden syrup and boiling water. Legend has it that the biscuits were sent by wives to soldiers

abroad because the biscuits kept well on missions and didn’t spoil easily.

A family remembers Pioneer soldier Piana Pera, buried in Dijon

Grieving Sylvia Pene remembers her forebear who was first to die when NZ's Pioneer Battalion arrived on the Western Front in France, 100 years ago. Sylvia Pene felt fear and a huge sense of responsibility when she stood at Anzac Cove waiting for her time to perform at the 95th Gallipoli commemorations. She stepped forward with the weight, the importance and the mana of the moment. A seasoned and respected Kapa Haka performer with the New Zealand Defence Force, she knew what she needed to do. Sylvia took a deep breath and began her karanga.

"The cry, the subtle cries changed to a wailing cry."

Sylvia Pene at the National Army

Museum in Waiouru.

And that's when it happened. Pene was overwhelmed with a sense of the past and of place. She heard gun

fire, shouts from soldiers, the anguished and guttural sounds of war, "crying, groaning, the sound

of pain and calling, calling out to their mothers". Last and desperate cries echoed around her and Pene

moved forward through the large crowd as she experienced what she can only describe as a "vision".

She went on to do a stand-alone karanga in front of thousands and she says it was the best performance of her life so far. "I saw the frontline and the grief was a multitude of griefs, it wasn't just the grief of one person, it was the grief of many and it made it quite surreal. And then the vision changed to families and just deep, deep grief and crying."She was carried buoyantly forward, held strong by the emotions that she had experienced. She recalls it now with tears but also with clarity. "I felt the fear that was theirs and it was my job to go out and do what I had to do and honour what they endured and what they went through."

Pene was in Gallipoli to represent the New Zealand Defence Force and her country but she says she was also there to honour her own whakapapa

and that of her whanau. Her trip in 2010 sparked a journey of discovering

her family's military history and it is a road that has seen her take up

a responsibility within her whanau as a spokesperson. She sought out family members who might tell her more about her

great-grand uncles Private Piana Pera and Hemi Rewharewha and what she found was an ancient grief. She spoke with her grandmother who is the niece of Piana Pera and she relayed what little is known.

16

Pera enlisted with the Bravo Company of the 1st Maori Contingent in 1914 when he was 23 years old. He was a labourer from Gisborne who sailed on Vessel Warrimoo from Wellington to Egypt and went on to fight in the Gallipoli campaign. .

His archives read as many do until you get to the part where Private Piana Pera embarked on a train to the Western Front. This is when tragedy struck and Sylvia Pena's great-grand-uncle became the first member of the New Zealand (Maori) Pioneer Battalion to perish on the Western Front.

The young man was travelling through France on a packed train on April 16, 1916 with his company unit. He leaned out of a window, perhaps waving as soldiers often did, and his head is believed to have been struck by a trackside object between the stations of Chalons and Chagny.

Pera died from a fractured skull and was buried at Dijon (Les Pejoces) Communal Cemetery. The history is not precise and as Pene wrote on the Auckland Cenotaph page his death has been "sensitively shared through the generations of relatives" and that while "his moments and experiences perished with only those that served at that time, we the living relatives remain in question".

Pene says it has been a tentative subject with the elders of her family as so little is known, her vivid memory of speaking with her grandmother was the "stained grief on her face". Every little detail is clung to and Pene only recently found out just how it is believed that Pera' s death occurred. She says with a smile that it may seem a small thing but that it gives her family some closure and it puts to rest some of the questions. After her first trip to Gallipoli Pene went again in 2014 and then travelled with the NZDF contingent to France and Belgium to commemorate the 100th ANZAC celebrations last year. This trip for her was more personal than Gallipoli because she had recently found out about another relative who served in the Maori Contingent, her great-grand uncle Hemi Rewharewha. "A memorial plaque was dug up and found. So, a memorial plaque was sent home to the parents if you died serving on the frontline and that was dug up on the homeland where Hemi grew up. That's how he came to my attention. They found it where there used to be an old pond, which makes you think, 'why did it end up there?'. When I think about that I think about how it could have been that the grief was too much for them to bear, it didn't bring back their son and they wanted nothing to do with it and they discarded it."

Pene got to visit Rewharewha's grave in Belgium but she says that sadly she couldn't visit Pere's resting place but that "thoughts laid heavily upon Piana at that time".

On her return Pene travelled to Torere in the Bay of Plenty which is where Piana's father, Kararehe Pera, is buried.

"I shared my sorrow of unsuccessfully laying a poppy at Piana's headstone in France."

She also recently brought another bit of closure and honour to her family by taking part in a Last Post ceremony at Pukeahu National War Memorial Park in Wellington. Pene delivered the Ode in te reo Maori at the memorial service to pay her respects to her great-great-uncle and she says it was a great moment.

"It was comforting to be able to do the Last Post on the 15th of April and know that he passed away on the 16th of April, 100 years ago. So that gave some good closure. My family have been very supportive of all the opportunities that I have had with NZDF. A question was posed about me being the spokesperson for Koru Piana and I wouldn't say I said yes but, if an opportunity arises to acknowledge our relatives who have served, do you just take the humble stance and just say 'try someone else'? Or do you be brave and come forward and honour them as best we can?"

And if ever there was a brave face, it is the face of Sylvia Pene. For she carries the strength that knowledge brings and bares links to her ancestors like veins under the skin. And on a day in Gallipoli when she had to be strong. In a place where the lives of so many were taken and the intensity of experience could almost be touched, Sylvia Pene gathered herself, listened to those who came before her and she wailed her karanga with the voice of many.

Maori Battalion recognised in Motueka's Anzac Day service

The 28th Maori Battalion in Egypt during World War II. Members were from Te Tau Ihu (the top of the

South Island).

A karanga will welcome soldiers and servicewomen to Motueka's cenotaph on Tuesday as its annual Anzac

Day service moves to recognise the part Maori played in the country's wars.

Rima Piggott, of Ngati Rarua, said having a karanga, and the Ode of Remembrance recited in Maori, is part

of a move to step-up the level of recognition of the Maori Battalion.

Maori soldiers were part of the general contingent sent to WWI, she said.

WWII saw the formation of the 28th Maori Battalion, which drew young men from across the country.

Piggott said her father, Warren Pahia Stephens, joined the battalion, against his mother's wishes, aged 17.

He was the only local serving member to return to Motueka.

Motueka RSA vice-president Ross Connochie said Motueka has until now been "a bit behind the 8-ball" in

recognising its Maori soldiers.

The year's service starts from 6.30am with the dawn parade down Pah St from the Motueka Bowling Club

to Memorial Gates from where the karanga will call the soldiers to the cenotaph.

Speakers included Lieutenant Colonel Hamish Gibbons, the commanding officer of the Queen Alexandra's

Mounted Rifles, and Motueka High School's head boy and girl, Ben Cudby and Laura Williams. The

dedication will be read by Tasman District councillor Paul Hawkes and the Reverend Trevor Squires

will lead the service.

Commemorations in Richmond are due to begin at 10.45am with a parade from Sundial Square, followed

by the service at the War Memorial Gardens on Cambridge St.

Former Waimea College pupil Abigail Marshall is due to speak at the service about her experiences in France

as part of the 2016 Young Ambassadors programme to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme.

Arras: des chants maoris pour l’Anzac Day à la carrière Wellington

Comme l’année dernière, l’Anzac Day a été célébré à la carrière Wellington. Retrouvez notre vidéo.

Par La Voix du Nord | Publié le 19/04/2016

Lundi soir, dans l’une des carrières proches de Wellington et inaccessible au public, à Blenheim, se tenait

l’ouverture des cérémonies de l’Anzac Day. L’émotion était à son comble lorsque les chants maoris ont

résonné dans les tunnels portant les témoignages de soldats du Commonwealth.

Un siècle s’est écoulé depuis les violents combats de la Grande Guerre mais la ville se souvient toujours de

leur courage. Le maire d’Arras accompagné de l’ambassadeur de la Nouvelle-Zélande et des représentants

du corps d’armée de l’Australie et de la Nouvelle-Zélande (Anzac) ont porté haut le souvenir de leurs soldats

et déposé des couronnes de poppies.

In the shadows of Kiwi WWI heroism, the larrikin's escapades of George McNicholl

JACK FLETCHER

April 24 2017

George McNicholl's enlistment form, dated May 11, 1916. McNicholl caused many headaches

during his time with the NZ Expeditionary Force, escaping prison several times as well as deserting

his unit to London on several occasions.

For many Kiwis, World War I was a chance to serve their country with pride and discipline. Fight

the common enemy and obey orders. Others, perhaps those less disciplined, gave the army

nightmares.

Through documents made available by Measuring the Anzacs, a project aiming to transcribe

thousands of Great War files, George McNicholl of Christchurch was revealed to be one such man.

McNicholl's 70-page file tells the story of a chequered career of service, prison, escapes from prison

and eventually an untimely and accidental death.

20

20

The Bulford Kiwi on Salisbury Plain, near Sling Camp in England, remains carved into the hillside,

etched by New Zealand troops waiting to return home at the end of World War I.

A bootmaker and farm hand, McNicholl walked into the Timaru Defence Office on May 11, 1916

and enlisted in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, age 20.

Details of Private George McNicholl's combat service are scarce, although they do include a

diagnosis of neurasthenia linked to shell shock. In contrast, details of his misdemeanours and

"conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline" were far from scarce.

The Cantabrian embarked from Wellington on July 26, 1916, ending up in France. Quite quickly,

he was sentenced to 60 days Field Punishment No. 2 for disobeying a lawful command.

Despite a lacklustre combat effort, McNicholl's memory lives on, his name is now engraved on the

Canterbury Provincial Memorial and listed on the Roll of Honour.

This punishment involved a soldier being handcuffed and fettered, while allowed to march with his

unit, in McNicholl's case the 2nd Canterbury Regiment.

In February 1917, McNicholl was once again in trouble, sentenced to nine months hard labour at

Prison Les Attaques, a military prison in Calais.

He escaped, reappearing in hospital in September under the name of Reeves, an Australian private.

He later claimed to be a Private Rouse, who was sentenced to two years hard labour, some of which

McNicholl had served.

Confusion reigned among the army bureaucracy when his true identity was revealed. Meanwhile,

he was running up bills for losing his kit, including his greatcoat, the cost of which was docked from

his pay.

21

21

In June 1918, he was admitted to No. 39 General Hospital in Le Havre, in Normandy,

for neurasthenia, which caused temporary paralysis of his legs, although when induced to walk he

could, according to doctor's records.

During several hospital visits in September, McNicholl was subjected to electrical treatment as well

as "baths and massages". Doctors were unable to find any cause of an apparent back pain,

however baths and massage treatment continued.

In October, a Medical Board deemed McNicholl unfit for punishment and military service of any

kind in France and he was shipped back to England.

On November 11, the Armistice was declared, but McNicholl's private war against authority was far

from over.

On January 2, 1919, McNicholl was detained at Sling Camp in Wiltshire for misconduct issues.

Rather than remain confined, he "absenting himself without leave" to London, almost 150

kilometres away.

It wasn't until February 14 he was apprehended, in possession of a fake leave pass and masquerading

as a sergeant. With no intention of facing a court martial, he escaped his cell and returned to London,

another fake leave pass in hand.

He was quickly recaptured and returned to confinement, only to escape again. On March 31 he was

sentenced to one year hard labour.

Days after the Treaty of Versailles was signed on July 28, 1919, McNicholl underwent a medical

examination and was cleared to be discharged from duty.

Things were looking up and he left Europe on August 5, bound for home aboard the Ayrshire. He

was told if he behaved on the return sailing, any existing sentence would be wiped.

However while sailing near Panama, he was lost overboard and drowned. The army deemed his

death "being due to misadventure with no blame attributable to anybody".

A decade later, his father ordered a memorial plaque to be made and McNicholl's name is now

engraved on the Canterbury Provincial Memorial at Ruru Lawn Cemetery in Christchurch, and listed

on the New Zealand Army WWI Roll of Honour.

But behind the engravings is a larger-than-life larrikin whose story lives on as one of enlistment,

escape and misadventure.

Remembering the Anzac Cyclist Battalion, a century on

Alexander Turnbull Library

William Massey and Joseph Ward inspect the New Zealand Cyclist Battalion in France, July 3,1917.

Most New Zealanders know something of the Anzacs, thousands of brave soldiers from New Zealand and

Australia who fought in World War I, largely on foot, some on horses.

But less well known are a small group of Kiwis and Aussies who formed the Anzac Cyclist Battalion.

According to the New Zealand History website, the New Zealand Cyclist Corps was formed in New Zealand

in March 1916, using recruits who were training to join the Mounted Rifles.

Intended as mobile light infantry, the cyclists found on their arrival in France in July 1916 that stationary

trench warfare left them with little to do in that regard, and instead they spent much of the war behind the

lines controlling traffic, laying cables and repairing trenches.

Cyclist Battalion.

New Zealand cyclists, as part of the 2nd Anzac Cyclist Battalion, were involved in the Flanders offensives

of 1917, building an 1800m support track across no-man's-land at Messines and laying signal cables behind

advancing troops at Gravenstafel and Bellevue Spur.

In early 1918, the New Zealand Cyclist Corps was called upon to fight as infantry, taking part in important

defensive actions in the Battle of the Lys and offensive actions in the Second Battle of the Marne.

In April 2018, another group of Kiwi cyclists plan to follow in the tyre tracks that the Anzac cyclists rode a

hundred years earlier.

Led by Wellingtonian Karl Woolcott, the group of around 30 cycling enthusiasts will tour parts of Belgium

and Northern France where Anzac soldiers fought, and rode, a century before them.

A cycling fanatic, each year Woolcott organises a cycling holiday through his tour company Ride Holidays.

Last year they rode the Canadian Rockies, this year they are off to Cuba – but the 2018 trip came about after

Woolcott was approached by the New Zealand embassies in Paris and Brussels.

"One of the main instigators behind this particular trip was the participation of our embassies over there.

They actually approached me to see if they could help," says Woolcott.

"They've been excellent at setting up all the official wreath-laying ceremonies etc, and there are a lot of doors

open that are usually closed.

"And then of course we have the 100-year World War I commemorations. It seems to me that New

Zealanders these days are taking more notice of Anzac Day and what it represents. It seems to be getting

bigger and bigger every year.

Zealand Cyclist Battalion.

"For me personally, my interest increased after the opening of the Arras tunnel here in Wellington. And

then to learn of the Anzac cycle corps and bingo – a tour was born."

Woolcott's grandfather was an Anzac, as were all his grandfather's brothers.

"I was too young to appreciate it before he died," he says.

But it's his enthusiasm for cycling that has perhaps the strongest connection to the Cyclist Battalion for

Woolcott.

"I ride my bike every day. It is my work, my play, my sport. I can't imagine life without a bike in it."

And ride their bikes they will, up to 100 kilometres each day, though their trusty two-wheeled steeds may

differ somewhat from those ridden by the Anzacs, which featured a rifle clip behind the back seat and a

paraffin lamp fastened to the front spokes.

"The bikes are very different indeed," says the tour's resident history buff, Jamie Mackay.

"The Anzac cyclists rode BSA Mark IV bikes. These would have been at least twice the weight of a modern

road bike, even without the gun rack and various carriers. They would have been ridden in full uniform rather

than lycra.

"Most road bikes these days have 22 gears, this had one. They had bells though, not something you're likely

to see on a modern road bike!"

Mackay says the cycling soldiers "were often exposed to enemy fire as they worked on developing

communication routes between the lines and as this account of fighting at Vierstraat illustrates, it was not

only the soldiers who were vulnerable targets: 'Our cycles were still on the Veirstraat Road, and received a

fair amount of shellfire and were badly damaged. On the nights of 29th and 30th small parties of men who

could be spared from the line were engaged in moving the cycles back to the rear, and this saved the total

loss of several; as it was some 90 cycles were so badly damaged as to be totally useless…'

"While bicycles do not appear to have been used in active combat by the Anzacs, they were seen as useful

means to transport men and light equipment over large distances in much less time than it would take troops

on foot," says Mackay.

"They were, however, often hampered by the terrain and conditions: 'Some of our climbs were long and

steep and our energy and endurance was severely taxed in negotiating some of the rises, particularly a frozen

road which was as slippery as glass. Spills were frequent and our temper sullen…'

"On many occasions it was not just the conditions that slowed them down: 'This trek from Ruminghem had

taken us three full days and two half days, and the distance covered was about 90 miles. This is not quick

travelling time for cyclists, who could do 40 miles a day easily, but we were hampered then by having slow

horse transport, and the length of our day's journey had to be paced accordingly.'"

Mackay says 59 members of the cyclist battalions were killed and 259 wounded (51 of these were wounded

more than once) across the duration of the war.

The 2018 tour aims "to retrace many of the roads that the Anzacs rode in WW1, stopping when we can to

share the history" and Mackay and Woolcott agree there will be many sombre moments but also plenty of

toasts raised to their cycling compatriots.
