Week Two: A Period of Change (1870-1950)

Activity 2: Making a Fashion Statement Red for inportant , Blue for question , and black for the main story

In the years following World War II, things slowly returned to normal in New Zealand. Soldiers returned home and settled back into regular life; and national sporting teams, like the New Zealand cricket team, got back together and started playing matches again. In the late 1940s, men and women would go to watch these events, men wearing hats and suits and women wearing dresses, hats, and gloves.

Compare the pictures of common clothing from the late 1940s to what you wear now (i.e. in 2017). Are they similar or are they quite different?

There is so much diffrent to now and then because in this photo there is only black wight and brown and now there are verity of colours I would like to sugest I like 2017 beter then the olden days pluse these people could be alive or not I am not quite shoure how they dress up but if they are alive they must be wering 2017 cloths wich is so colour full onother thing I am adding is moblile phoe it is so good because if you get stuck or you school gets on fire or you get sent from school early you can alway contact you pearents but some people use it for diffarent perposes which afect children because they useso things wich the mobile is not made for.

Leslie Andrew VC 

A Railways Department clerk and the son of the headmaster of Wanganui East School, Leslie Andrew lied about his age so that he could serve overseas. He arrived in France in September 1916 and fought with the 2nd Wellington Battalion on the Somme before being wounded.

On 31 July the New Zealanders attacked La Basseville once again. The 1st 

Auckland Battalion was to hit the German defences while 2nd Wellington was to take the village and establish positions there. Shortly before 4 a.m. the New Zealanders began advancing behind an artillery barrage. Leslie Andrew led two sections sent to destroy the machine-gun position in the inn. As they moved forward, they saw that another machine gun on the nearby railway line was holding up other New Zealand troops. They rushed the position, killed the crew and captured the gun before turning back to their original objective. Approaching the inn from the side, the New Zealanders crawled through thistles to within striking distance. They threw in grenades and then stormed the position, killing some of the Germans and capturing a second machine gun.For his bravery and leadership during the attack, 20-year-old Leslie Andrew was awarded the Victoria Cross.
