Had an interesting discussion today re the nature of trench warfare. Perhaps if we are going to argue that historians like Pugsley and belich disagree over whether Maori invented trench warfare we should investigate what both mean by trench warfare. If they are in agreement then fine but if they are not then the contest is not comparing apples with apples. Very interesting article

Further information
The AJHRs were split into two sequences of published volumes in 1999. The first sequence, the //New Zealand Parliamentary Papers//, included most government reports. The second, still called the //Appendix to the Journals of the House of Representatives//, contains select committee reports and other papers relating to the operation of Parliament. Many post-1999 reports are available online at [|www.parliament.nz] and the websites of the government agencies which created them. Some papers presented to the House are not published as part of the AJHR, and remain unpublished. Many such papers are held by Archives New Zealand Head Office in Wellington, the Parliamentary Library, or the government departments which created them.
