"Some excellent books have already been published on the exploits of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force in the war just concluded, and I am sure that this volume will prove second to none in accuracy, faithfulness of colour and readability. I am particularly pleased to have this opportunity of introducing Mr Wheeler's racy narrative of the Engineers in Greece, as the author and I were closely associated as sappers in the Middle East, from the time we sailed from New Zealand on the same ship in 1940 until I left that theatre some three years later. Mr Wheeler was a highly efficient and popular young engineer officer, gaining the respect of all ranks.

I know, from the way I have myself enjoyed reading this book, that it will be welcomed not only by former 2nd NZEF sappers and 'Kiwis' generally, but also by all New Zealanders proud of the Second Division's achievements and appreciative of a story well told. - C F Skinner, Minister of Rehabilitation
