Summary
| Description |
Members of the New Zealand Railway Engineers unit in Samoa pose alongside their commandeered German narrow-gauge locomotive, now bearing the letters 'NZR' (New Zealand Railways). The figure on horseback is Captain Percy St John Keenan, a career soldier who served as staff officer for the Railway Battalions before the war. He was initially chosen to command the Railway Engineers in Samoa, before being appointed Adjutant of the 3rd Auckland Regiment. Lieutenant Bert Christophers subsequently assumed command of the railwaymen. One of the men leaning against the engine has been identified as Sapper Peter Stanley Marriott, an NZR locomotive fireman who was later wounded while serving with a trench mortar battery on the Western Front. This photograph comes from a series of NZ Railways negatives.
