Hi, the former 6 Hauraki Battalion is now a company of 3/6 RNZIR, a reserve (Territorial) Battalion comprised of 3 companies: Auckland, Northland & Hauraki. The Bn catchment area is from north of Lake Taupo to the top of north Island, Hauraki coy Taupo to Auckland. (5/7 RNZIR has the rest of the north island, 2/4 RNZIR the South). Hauraki coy has Platoon HQ & Regular force Cadre based in Tauranga, Rotorua & Hamilton. The Hauraki reserve Soldiers still wear the same blackened cap & collars, with screwback washers to rear of cap & rear pins/butterfly clips to collars. (service dress jacket only) The other 2 companies in 3/6 have their own cap/collar badges, also based on their WW1 badges & interestingly Auckland company cap badge has a kings crown.5/7 & 2/4 wear the RNZIR cap badge but with their own unit collar badges.
