This New Zealand national Blue Ensign flag was flown at Quinn's Post, Gallipoli, in 1915. The flag was brought back to New Zealand by Private John Taylor, Canterbury Battalion.
In the top left corner the flag has been signed by members of the Canterbury Battalion. The names include: J. Taylor; R.A. Humm CQMS; T. Gardiner; D. Dobson; C. Jenkinson; W.E. Cookson; and J. Seary. The signatures are very faded, but Cookson's appears to to be annotated 'killed in action' (Corporal Walter Evan Cookson was killed in France on 19 July 1916).
