With US troops based in New Zealand during World War II, Army Headquarters in Wellington issued a training memorandum on 27 May 1943 which included a section “How the Americans say it”. This listed the American military term followed by the equivalent British term. Some examples are: American British Advance party = Vanguard Fox hole = Weapon pit H hour = Zero hour Kitchen police = Cookhouse police Operation aviation = Reconnaissance aircraft Reconnaissance patrol (air) = Sortie This circular (and others) can be found in Northern Military District (Auckland) file: Army training, memorandum and instructions AHQ [Army Headquarters] - 5 January 1942 - 15 November 1943 Archives reference: ACIO 8723 A1629 AD-A11/3 8/1/25 (R10111675) <a href="https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=10111675" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=10111675</a> |
