I have pictures of the Sixth Contingent stealing sheep and chickens, and burning down civilian houses.

My grandfather, Alexander O'Keefe from Wyndham / Makarewa, served with the 6th Contingent, I'm positive that he is the man seated in the 2nd row, with moustache & dark hat, looking away from the camera. Alexander returned from South Africa and passed away in 1950.
