Kōrero taurongo
- Spencer arrived in Suez in September of 1915 and by April 1916 was transferred to France.
Victor Spencer was one of 28 New Zealand servicemen who were court-martialled and sentenced to death during the First World War.
Spencer is one of five New Zealand soldiers who were executed during the First World War for mutiny and desertion and pardoned by Parliament in 2000.
The Auckland Museum Library's manuscripts collection holds a war diary containing an entry relating to Spencer's execution. [Ref. MS 2007/27]
A Private Member's Bill was put before the New Zealand Parliament in September 1998 by the MP for Invercargill, Mark Peck, to pardon the soldiers executed. This became the Pardon for Soldiers of the Great War Act 2000 which pardoned the five soldiers. The purpose of the act was 'to remove so far as practicable, the dishonour that the execution of those five soldiers brought to those soldiers and their families. AWMM
