Haven't got around to reading the last few books, but read these in high school. Always thought that Marsden must've been under the impression that New Zealand actually had a defence force and not a series of follies. One of our troop ships actually got leased out to transport oranges around the Mediterranean. The latest is half a million dollars spent on bullets that won't work for our guns (they're sports rounds, not military rounds).
