New Zealand Long and Efficient Service Medal (Rev. Dunnage Chaplain 3 Cl. N.Z. Chaplains Dept. (1920)) engraved naming, two heavy knocks to obverse, edge bruising, good fine £80-£100 --- The Reverend Frank Dunnage served in France with the 4th New Zealand Infantry Reserve Brigade during the Great War. The Waiapu Church Gazette, Volume VII, Issue 4, dated 1 January 1917, offers a little insight as to his experiences on the Western Front: ‘A very spirited discussion took place [at the Diocesan Library, Waiapu] re a letter from Rev. Frank Dunnage, C.F., New Zealand Base, France, in which he related the tremendous difficulties under which he and his fellow Anglican chaplains laboured for lack of funds. They have no musical instruments, no furniture nor lights for recreation tents and have to hold all services in the open air except when they can borrow the Salvation Army or Presbyterian huts.’ Concerned at this ‘scandalous state of affairs’, The Reverend Frank Dunnage was soon promised £100 by Mr. F. W. Williams and a further £25 from Hastings parish, to be cabled to France ‘at once’.
