Thank you everyone for your replies so far, it has been most useful!
Leon, the books are a series we have been producing where we are trying to locate as many photographs of the 95,000 odd men and woman of New Zealand who served overseas during the Great War. So far we have located photos of around 30,000 of them. Our website: www.onwardproject.co.nz
Hi R,
The Armistice saw the end of fighting, though technically the end was when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on 28 June 1919. The treaty did not come into effect though until January 1920.
Have a read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Army_of_the_Rhine
The New Zealanders were part of this force, and were none to happy about it. After up to 5 years away from home for some, they were wanting to get home!
Once again, thank you for the assistance, once we have a coloured pic I will post it so see what you think!
Cheers,
Matt

Yes that 'occupy Germany' sounds like it needs investigating for historical accuracy ?
An Armistice ended WW1...
