  • The 3rd New Zealand Division was a division of the New Zealand Military Forces. Formed in 1942, it saw action against the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean Areas during the Second World War. The division saw action in the Solomon Islands campaign during 1943–1944, during which it undertook landings on Vella Lavella, the Treasury Islands and the Green Islands. Due to manpower shortages, for most of its existence the division consisted of only two infantry brigades in addition to support personnel, with its third brigade being disbanded shortly after formation. In 1944, manpower shortages in the New Zealand economy became acute led to the disbandment of the division. The majority of its manpower was returned to civilian employment, although around 4,000 men were sent to Italy to reinforce the 2nd Division, seeing further action before the end of the war in May 1945.

  • La 3e division néo-zélandaise était une division des forces militaires néo-zélandaises. Formée en 1942, elle a combattu contre les Japonais dans le théâtre du Pacifique (Pacific Ocean Areas). La division a pris part à la campagne des îles Salomon de 1943 à 1944, au cours de laquelle elle effectua des débarquements à Vella Lavella, les îles du Trésor et les îles Green. En raison de la pénurie de main-d'œuvre, pendant la majeure partie de son existence, la division ne comprenait que deux brigades d'infanterie en plus du personnel de soutien, sa troisième brigade étant dissoute peu de temps après sa formation. En 1944, la pénurie de main-d'œuvre dans l'économie néo-zélandaise est devenue aiguë et a entraîné la dissolution de la division. La majorité de ses effectifs a été réintégrée dans des emplois civils, bien qu'environ 4 000 hommes aient été envoyés en Italie pour renforcer la 2e division, avant de poursuivre la guerre en mai 1945.

  • La 3rd New Zealand Division fu una divisione di fanteria del New Zealand Army, formata nel 1942 per prendere parte alla lotta contro l'Impero giapponese nell'ambito del teatro del Pacifico della seconda guerra mondiale. La divisione vide l'azione a fianco delle forze degli Alleati nel corso della campagna delle isole Salomone, partecipando in particolare alle battaglie di Vella Lavella (settembre-ottobre 1943), delle Isole del Tesoro (ottobre-novembre 1943) e delle Isole Green (febbraio 1944). A causa della carenza di manodopera in Nuova Zelanda, per gran parte della sua esistenza la divisione fu afflitta da carenze di organico, e invece delle preventivate tre brigate di fanteria prescritte dal suo ordinamento ne ebbe in organico solo due. Nel 1944 la carenza di manodopera si era ormai fatta così seria che la divisione fu ritirata dal fronte e smobilitata; la maggior parte dei suoi uomini fece ritorno alla vita civile, anche se 4.000 volontari furono inviati a rimpinguare gli organici della impegnata nel teatro europeo della seconda guerra mondiale.
