Legion of Frontiersmen (New Zealand) Command

The Famous and the Infamous members

of the Legion of frontiersmen

Some of these people are not necessarily the decorated heroic individuals we hear about. Their stories are either written by them, their families, or by co-workers, so are only as good as can be written unless history prevails through documentation

One or two of these individuals may not actually have been members of the Legion of Frontiersmen, but at some stage in their lives they have been decorated by the Legion for their contributions to society and history
