Hi,
Can anyone take a look at this chaps application and let me know when he arrived in New Zealand and any reasons he states for joining Force?
The archive details are as follows:
R24450239 ACIS 17627 P1 176 / 1883/1393
I know there is a facility to order documents but the min is 50 dollars which may or may not be worth it.

Incidentally, he's my great uncle. After this entry in Archives, there are numerous convictions and prison sentences.
On that subject, if any one could look in the remaining "mug shot catalogue" held at Wellington, the reference is : Photographs of Prisoners (R17928047). This covers years 1902-1906. I know our John was photographed in Dunedin in Oct 1901 so there is a chance he could appear.
Many Thanks.
