New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade, consisting usually of four units of mounted infantry, fought in World War I and World War II. During World War One, it was a part of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). Part of the brigade fought in the Gallipoli Campaign under the Australia and New Zealand Division. The brigade also fought in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign.

After World War One, the brigade shrunk. By 1944 the brigade ceased to exist, as individual units were absorbed into other regiments.
