Summary
| Description |
English: NZ Army Day is celebrated on 25 March, the anniversary of the day in 1845 when the New Zealand Legislative Council passed the first Milita Act constituting the New Zealand Army.
These images from the National Publicity Studios are of Royal NZ Infantrymen on manoeuvres with an M41 tank at Waiouru Military Camp. The photographs are dated April 1974 and were taken by R. Anderson. The National Publicity Studios was established in 1945, but its beginnings can be traced back to the establishment in 1924 of a Publicity Office - part of the Department of Internal Affairs. The purpose of the National Publicity Studios was to provide advice to government departments and state agencies on the provision of photographic, art, and display services and in particular to assist in the production of publicity material aimed at conveying a favourable image of New Zealand. The National Publicity Studios was divided into two main sections: Photographic - comprising photographers, a laboratory, a photo library and facilities for audio-visual productions & Art - comprising graphic art, display art, display workshops and silkscreen. In 1987, the National Publicity Studios was disestablished and replaced by Communicate New Zealand.
