Kayforce the battle for Kap'yong ANZAC Day

DF10Productions
Uploaded on 13 Dec 2010

The war parts from a short Film we made a few years ago for an ANZAC Day short film competition. It follows New Zealand soldiers in the battle of Kapyong during the Korean War.


Kayforce


In response to a further call from the United Nations, New Zealand agreed in July 1950 to provide a ground force in Korea. This force was similar to the New Zealand expeditionary forces of the world wars in being based on citizen-soldier volunteers, though it was much smaller. Kayforce, as it was called, the last such expeditionary force, was 1,100-strong, but eventually rose to 1,500 men. Its main components were a field artillery regiment and a transport squadron.

A great power contest
By the time the troops left New Zealand in December 1950, the war had been transformed. Following the In’chon success, the UN sought to unify Korea by force, ignoring Chinese threats of intervention if it attempted to do so. When UN forces pushed north, thousands of Chinese troops, designated Chinese people’s volunteers but in reality regular troops, entered Korea. In November they inflicted a major defeat on the UN forces, forcing them to retreat rapidly to the south. After this the conflict, which had begun as a civil war, became essentially a contest between two great powers – China and the United States.

A Commonwealth effort
Like New Zealand’s frigates, Kayforce served in a Commonwealth context within the UN Command, initially as part of a British Commonwealth infantry brigade. The New Zealanders helped to halt successive communist offensives designed to drive the UN Command out of Korea, performing well at Kap’yong in April 1951. Later, now in a Commonwealth division, they took part in a limited UN advance that carried the line to roughly the 38th parallel, where a stalemate developed.

The ANZAC spirit
There was a special connection between Australian and New Zealand units in Korea, although this was not always obvious to the outsider. One soldier commented that at meetings of the two contingents, ‘there are volleys of hard words, mud, water, old eggs or anything throwable. The other U.N. forces think we are crazy, but actually we are the only troops who have such a strong bond of comrade-ship and that’s our way of showing it.’1
Armistice negotiations
During the last two years of the war, the UN forces manned the line – similar to a hilly Western Front – while negotiators, first at Kaesong then at Panmunjom, tried to thrash out an armistice. The negotiations deadlocked frequently, especially over the issue of the return of prisoners of war. Not until 27 July 1953 was the fighting brought to an end, though a peace settlement was not achieved – and had still not been in 2011. A decreasing number of New Zealand troops remained in Korea until 1957.

Home front
The Korean War was uncontroversial in New Zealand. Partly because it took place under UN auspices, partly because it imposed no serious demands on the population, and partly because of general acceptance of communist responsibility for the conflict, no significant opposition to New Zealand’s involvement developed. Indeed, once the war reached a stalemate, there was little interest in it – reflected in the fact that it is now often termed the ‘forgotten war’.

Wool boom and watersiders
Even so, the Korean War had an enormous economic impact on New Zealand. It precipitated a boom in wool prices that led to a stupendous influx of money into the country, leaving farmers more prosperous but unsettling the rest of society as inflation affected the cost of living. When an industrial dispute on the waterfront threatened this bonanza in 1951, the government declared a state of emergency and used the armed services to load cargo. A snap election followed, consolidating the position of the National government led by Sidney Holland.

International impact
The conflict had a profound impact on international politics. It heightened the Cold War division, induced a huge increase in US defence spending, and impelled the US to hasten a peace settlement with Japan. These developments allowed New Zealand and Australia to achieve their objective of securing a US commitment to their security. The three countries became allies when they signed the ANZUS treaty on 1 September 1951, one week before the conclusion of the Japanese Peace Treaty.

The cost
The Korean commitment from 1950 to 1957 cost the lives of 45 New Zealanders, 33 during the war itself.

Gisborne Surf Report



Monday, February 25, 2013


Wainui / Coast Beaches


6:32am: More size today with 3-4ft sets but there is a moderate SSW breeze blowing and it's making conditions a bit on the messy side (it's a bit cleaner at the southern end of the beach). The wind will ease slightly this afternoon and we will hopefully see an offshore land breeze tomorrow morning. The swell will start to ease tomorrow but will then hold in a decent size range through to the weekend, with winds mostly tending onshore.


Town beaches

Bigger messier conditions this morning with sets piushing 4ft at times and there is a SSW breeze that will blow all day (tending more south this afternoon). There should be some semi-clean waves on tomorrow morning before the onshore kicks back in.


Hawkes Bay / Napier / Waimarama

South exposed breaks have more size today with 3ft+ sets hitting, but there is a light SW breeze that is making conditions a little ruffled. The wind will most likely swing sea breeze later this morning with the swell holding over the next 24 hours.

Traffords Hill




Manganuku Bridge

•Kilometres from Opotiki: 47km

•Kilometres from Gisborne: 97km


Keep an eye out for the Manganuku Bridge, just over it on the left is an honesty camping ground administered by D.O.C. that has toilets, barbecues and rubbish disposal. The charge is $7 per night per group. At the eastern end of the camp is the old main highway bridge which was replaced when the highway was realigned many years ago.


Soon after the road starts to climb out of the gorge and wind its way up and over Traffords Hill, at 725 metres the high point in the trip, you are now in sheep and cattle country and cross the head waters of the Motu River, a right turn just after the bridge would take you through even more scenic back roads, to Wharekopae, Rere Falls & Rock Slide then onto Eastwoodhill Arboretum, joining SH2 again south of Gisborne.  Or continue on the main road to Matawai.


84.5km Trafford's Hill, summit 725m, is the highest point on SH2 between Gisborne and Opotiki.

Tairawhiti Heritage Trail
North, South, East Coast




Haeremai, haremai, haremai - koutou ki te tairawhiti

Welcome to the Tairawhiti Heritage Trail. It leads you through lands now within the Gisborne District. The Trail winds through the ancestral lands of the Maori who arrived here over a thousand years ago. They called the region Tairawhiti, the coast upon which the sun shines across the water. It is a region rich in historical sites and meeting houses, MARAE.


Europeans first landed in New Zealand with the arrival of Captain Cook in Poverty Bay 1769, followed by visiting traders. After 1830 they stayed to trade, to whale, to spread Christianity and to farm. They developed small ports and built wharves, freezing works and dairy factories, almost all now vanished.


The "local" people think of themselves as friendly, informal and like to talk to travellers who are interested in their land, its history and its future.

The Information Centres will put you in touch with the most recent initiatives for meeting local people, taking part in local activities and visiting places of interest.

While you are in TAIRAWHITI you may hear Maori spoken as a first language, TE REO MAORI, many Maori words are also used in conversational English.

You may be greeted with KIA ORA, hello, or MORENA, good morning. The local people are known as the TANGATA WHENUA. Europeans are often referred to as PAKEHA.

If you visit a MARAE, a traditional centre for a Maori family or tribe, you will be MANUHIRI, a visitor. You may be welcomed with a POWHIRI, a ceremony of greeting, and there will be WAIATA, songs. You may wish to make a donation, KOHA, and you may be given the traditional greeting of pressing noses, HONGI. If you are offered food, it is KAI, which may have been cooked in a ground oven, HANGI, or it may be KAI MOANA, seafood.
Many sites are sacred, TAPU, to the Maori, especially parts of the MARAE, and URUPA, burial grounds.

Be guided in how you behave and where you go by what the KAUMATUA and KUIA, the elders say.
