Hi, In 1993 I took part in a parade (I was a soldier in Queen Alexandra's Squadron, RNZAC)at Palmerston North show grounds in which this Colour was consecrated on drums, presented to the last surviving CO of the Bn (LtCol Sir Charles Bennett) and then 'trooped' through the ranks of the soldiers on parade. This was the second such parade I took part in the first being the presentation of a new Guidon for my squadron late in 1992. I therefore suspect that your information that the Pioneer Battalion Colour was consecrated and presented to the 28Bn in Waitangi is inaccurate. Aside from the obvious historical meaning of the parade it was also the first time since the end of W2 that all of the Guidons and Colours of the NZ Army were on parade.
