NZ infantry uniform, 1914-15

NZ infantry uniform, 1914-15

Peaked cap, jacket and webbing worn by New Zealand infantrymen, 1914-15. The uniform was the Territorial Force model issued in 1912. Coloured piping on the shoulders of the New Zealand-made jackets indicated branch of service – in this case, red for the infantry. The New Zealand Expeditionary Force replaced these 'extravagant' uniforms with standard British ones after the Gallipoli campaign.

What was the definition of a Divisional Educationer Officer and in what position would he be stationed in the field serving at Passchendaele

This doesn't look the uniform other sources say was worn at Gallipoli.

Why are there no shoulder titles or collar badges on this uniform?
