It saw service from 1959-1963 during the Malayan Emergency.[1][2] In 1964 the unit was renamed the 4th Otago and Southland Battalion Group.[3] The Regiments motto was Kia Mate Toa (Fight unto Death) and Regimental Belt had the Mackenzie Tartan pattern of the Queen's Own Highlanders. The regimental badge uniquely contained a full Māori chief.[3][4] Origin and integrationIt was originally formed by the amalgamation of the Otago Regiment and Southland Regiment.[5] In turn, those two regiments were the heirs of the original 4th (Otago Rifles) Regiment, 10th (North Otago) Regiment, 8th (Southland Rifles) Regiment and 14th (South Otago) Regiment formed in the early 1900s. The regiment become a TF battalion of the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment in 1964 during the reorganisation of the army.
