I had to educate myself, by googling Bogle. I then listened to John Mcdermott singing "the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" You should have a listen. That guy knows how to grab your heart.
Not to get swallowed up by the Australians, Heres a bit from a book I have about the N.Z. army in WW1.
On Armistice day N.Z. had 58,129 troops in the field.(more in training) In total the troops provided for foreign service(WW1) represented 10 percent of the 1914 population of the country, and 41 percent of the males between the ages of 20 to 45.
100,444 troops left N.Z. with the expeditionary forces of these 16,697 lost their lives and 41,317 were wounded, a 58 percent casualty rate.
