2nd C.O. - DYER, Humphrey Goring, MID. Born 7th March 1896 at Hamilton. Because he was a school teacher for many years it wasn't generally known that Humphrey Dyer started his career as a professional soldier. He was the top cadet at the Duntroon Military College where he was awarded the Sword of Honour in 1918. Except for short periods of special duties and as Battalion 2 I/C, Humphrey Dyer spent almost two years as O.C. of 'D' Company of the Maori Battalion, with whom he became closely identified. This book is a tribute to the Maori officers and soldiers who died in Crete. (Known as the "Suicide Squad" ).
