Post XIV - Kia Kaha Ake Badge
Hello Everyone,

I have recently acquired the following badge which features the Roman numerals, "XIV". It also features the words "Kia Kaha Ake" in a banner. It is topped with a kea. Although I have searched on this forum already, I have only discovered a similar badge, not the exact badge.

I would love some confirmation surrounding what this badge would have been awarded for.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The collar badges of the 14th South Otago Infantry left and right facing are slightly different design and smaller than the cap badge

Cheers Iain

I have a number of photo's of soldiers wearing the 14th South Otago Infantry badges,that are on my Face Book community page ''Southland Soldiers and Nurses ',The page is a tribute to soldiers and nurses that served in the major conflicts of the 20th century ,that came from New Zealand's southernmost province .

Cheers Iain D
