Major General Graham Beresford

Parkinson, CBE,

DSO & Bar

(5 November 1896 – 10 July 1979) was a professional soldier in the New

Zealand Military Forces who served during the First and Second World Wars. Born in Wellington, New Zealand,

Parkinson was commissioned as a lieutenant in the New Zealand Military Forces

in 1916 and served in the First World War as part of the New Zealand Field

Artillery. He remained in the military during the interwar period and served in

a number of staff and training positions. Following the outbreak of the Second

World War, he commanded an artillery regiment in the Western Desert

Campaign

and participated in the Battle of Greece. In late 1941 he

returned to New Zealand to command newly raised formations, but returned to the

Middle East in 1943. He commanded the 6th Infantry Brigade of the 2nd

New Zealand Division

during the Italian Campaign, at one stage taking over temporary command of

the division itself. After the war he served as Quartermaster General of the

New Zealand Military Forces. He finished his military career in command of the

Southern Military District. After his retirement in 1952, he lived in

Christchurch. In his later years he was involved with the St. John Ambulance

Association. He died in 1979 at the age of 82.
