Army Exercises

Before undergoing their regular annual two weeks' training in camp at Waiouru, 85 men of A Company of the 7th R.N.Z.I.R. , from Gisborne and surrounding districts (who were not able to attend their monthly parades to make up their total of three weeks' training for the year), encamped for four days at Longbush. The major undertakings during the four days were manoeuvres in the fields using live ammunition.
