1937 New Year Honours (New Zealand)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1937 New Year Honours in New Zealand were appointments by King George VI to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by New Zealanders. The awards celebrated the passing of 1936 and the beginning of 1937. This was the first honours list of George VI's reign, and its announcement was deferred until 1 February 1937.[1][2][3]
