Troops from the New Zealand Expeditionary Force Main Body prepare for a route march through Hobart, Tasmania - 21/22 October 1914. Courtesy of Archives New Zealand (Archives Ref: AEGA 18982, PC4/1574) Hobart was reached on October 21st, and left again on the afternoon of the 22nd. A route march was held through the town. Everybody was glad of this chance of exercise, as the quarters on board ship, to put it mildly, were a bit cramped; and the warm welcome given by the people of Hobart as they flocked in their hundreds to the wharves will long remain a happy memory. nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-WH1CMRi-t1-body-d1.html
