New Zealand Government Expeditionary Force Pay Warrant, cancelled

ew Zealand Government Expeditionary Force Pay Warrant, cancelled 10 shillings, 21.9.1914, serial number 13802, on watermark paper, printed signature of Charles Cerutty and James Collins, staples holes at top left, minor foxing, very fine. During WWI, New Zealand sent two brigades of a total 8500 men to support the British on the western front. But as the Ottoman Empire entered the war in 1914, the two brigades along with the Australian Imperial Force were diverted to Egypt to assist with the Gallipoli invasion. This pay warrant was likely used then for daily wages. Extremely rare and highly important. 1914年紐西蘭政府遠征軍薪餉令，已註銷10先令，編號13802，水印紙印刷，帶有 Charles Cerutty 和 James Collins 的印刷簽名，左上角有訂書針孔，輕微黃斑，VF品相。第一次世界大戰期間，紐西蘭派遣了兩個旅，共8500人，支援英國在西方戰線作戰。但隨著鄂圖曼帝國於1914年參戰，這兩個旅以及澳洲帝國軍被調往埃及，協助加里波利戰役。這枚薪餉券很可能是當時用來支付日薪，極為罕見，意義非凡
