N Force - Norfolk Force
N Force, also known as Norfolk Force, was a unit within the 36th Battalion of New Zealand's 3rd Division during World War II. Formed to defend strategic Pacific locations like Norfolk Island, Tonga, and New Caledonia, N Force was crucial in maintaining regional communication lines. Initially stationed on Norfolk Island in 1942, the 36th Battalion later rotated to New Caledonia, where it underwent a reorganisation in 1943 into "jungle establishments" with added combat support, creating highly effective combat teams. These records were updated from the Nominals roll held at Archives New Zealand.
