The Bulford kiwi
Today for Mrs Jones's reading group Tom Fletcher had to make a blog about the Bulford kiwi in England.
the Bulford kiwi is a little known story from the first world war when the new Zealand troops were waiting months in sling camp in southern England waiting for a ship to come and take them back to their home, to keep them busy they carved a kiwi into the hill of the camp to keep them occupied while they, where waiting. for a ship to take them home back from the war. The Bulford kiwi is a large kiwi carved in the, chalk on Beacon hill above the military town of Bulford. part of the Bulford camp was established in June 1916 for the New Zealand expeditionary Force (NZEF).
.The kiwi's body is 1.5 acres (6,100 m2). .From the kiwi's feet to the top of its beak is 420 feet (130 meters). .The beak is 150 feet (46 meters long). .The letters "N.Z" are 65 feet (20 meters high).
when world war 1 ended with the armistice on November 11, 1918 what happened to the thousands of New Zealand soldiers- around 40,000 stationed in Europe and Britain. who had left their homeland to fight and now where still in Europe.
