            [history] => 

	This series has been used by Archives New Zealand to describe the personal and official papers of General Freyberg from September 1939 to November 1945. The papers included correspondence, memoranda, cables, published material, maps and photographs. They have been left in the order in which they were transferred from the War History Branch. The papers were organised as follows:

	

		

			Files of important historical value
		

			

				

					Files 1939-1943. These files document events prior to the move of the NZ Division to Italy, and include material concerning Greece, Crete, the Libyan campaign, 'Special Files', the General Officer Commanding's Diary
			
			

				

					Files 1944-1945. These files document subsequent events to November 1945 and include 'Historical Operational' files, the General Officer Commanding's Diary, and more 'Special Files'.
			
		
	
	

		

			Papers of lesser significance
	


	A comprehensive index is available for the records, giving descriptions of specific items.
