New Zealand Army Pay Corps

[stevjp]

Guys,
Just trying to piece the time-line of the New Zealand Pay Corps.
According to Geoff Oldham's and Dave Corbett's books

- Prior to 1917 the function of the NZ Pay Corps was handled by Civilian personnel.
- On the 31st of May 1917, the New Zealand Army Pay Department was established.
- On the 21st of July 1920, Officers were appointed to the New Zealand Army Pay Corps.
- On the 18th of May 1924, Corps was reconstituted and re-established as part of the NZ Permanent Force.
From 1917 to 1924 the first type of badges were worn - see attached photo.

After 1924, the second type of badges were worn (see photo) with Kings crown and NZ to center.

- In 1930 the Corps was disbanded and its function transferred to Civilian Personnel.

Then there is a gap....

Corbett mentions that in 1969 the Corps was re-established, and the second type of badge (with Kings Crown) was still worn.

Then in October 1978, the Corps was given approval for a St Edwards Crown badge - 3rd type, see attached.

What happened during WW2. Was the corps never re-establsihed?

Many thanks and all the best
James
