 While in England – either freshly arrived from New Zealand or having already served at Gallipoli and awaiting transfer to the Western Front – New Zealand troops were stationed at Sling Camp, an annexe of Bulford Camp in Wiltshire.The troops who were still stationed at the camp at the end of the war created the giant chalk kiwi known as the Bulford Kiwi whilst waiting to be repatriated.In France, the New Zealand Division settled in on the stalemated Western Front and their first major trial was during the Battle of the Somme.
