For those who say that the Queen did not express any emotion during the anthem - I think you need to look at her eyes, there was emotion there. New Zealanders stand proud because our people went off to war to defend freedom and peace. We have tried hard to right the wrongs of colonialism and work hard in the world to resolve conflict. We stood strong against nuclear testing in the Pacific. The older I get the more it means to me to hold on to tradition. That includes the queen & our pride.

Thanks. You are quite gracious. As it happens I'm a US Army trauma surgeon soon to retire as a Colonel. Seven deployments in as many years has been enough. With the kids all in college, my wife, also a physician and British subject, and I are planning our next adventure. NZ is top on the list along with GB. The problem with GB is that none of our credentials are recognised. NZ and Australia make the move quite easy. We both want to teach. We've had warm welcomes from several universities.

Forty-two percent of men of military age served in the NZEF. 16,697 New Zealanders were killed and 41,317 were wounded during the war - a 58 percent casualty rate. Approximately a further thousand men died within five years of the war's end, as a result of injuries sustained, and 507 died whilst training in New Zealand between 1914 and 1918. New Zealand had the highest casualty and death rate per capita of any country involved in the war.

Yes. I knew a South African surgeon in Australia. He actually worked with Christaan Barnard. He was having difficulties having his credentials recognised in Australia. I suggested he move to New Zealand and work there. Once he had worked in New Zealand, and had his credentials amended/enhanced, he could then move back to Australia, as New Zealand practicing surgeons can work in Australia and vice versa. I am sure the same applies to GB. (more)

Beautiful version of the British National Anthem. I believe New Zealand lost a higher % of it's population than any other country in the British Empire during WW2. What can I say? Thank you - my dad was in Bomber Command and met many Kiwis. I am a member of the C of E Mother's Union and the first overseas branch was in New Zealand - evidence that many of the earliest settlers were farming stock from the south of England. As for the man who said the British Army traditions were "stuck up and dead" compared with the Haka .... total disregard of different cultures, which isn't helpful. We must strive to respect other's cultures as far as possible, not be in competition as in those days of empire.

It's called the Haka. It's a traditional Maori challenge to battle. It may be used to commemorate heroic action, especially actions in which the Haka was a prelude, as certainly occurred in North Africa in WW2. The All Blacks are so good at performing it now they are considering dropping the Rugby:)
