 To the left are a collection of Prayers taken from different Places and adapted if needed to the NZ Military situation. Where I have been able I acknowledge the originating source.

 

It was my practice to help the Chaplains as far as I was able, knowing, as a regimental Soldier in the Last War, (WW1) what lay ahead of us, and the need for religion and the value of the Unit Padre.

I take this opportunity of  expressing my sincere appreciation of the great work of New Zealand Chaplains of all denominations. They were a fine team, and their untiring efforts were of untold value and did much to sustain and comfort our men during the critical stages of the War. 
Bernard Freyberg. Lieutenant-General,  General Officer Commanding, 2nd NZEF
