Talk:List of World War I aces from New Zealand

Nationalities can be fluid
Many British Commonwealth citizens still considered themselves English citizens during World War I. They often emigrated between Britain and Commonwealth countries, pretty much at will.

A classic example is Arthur Coningham. Born in Australia and reared in New Zealand, he ended up a senior officer in Britain. Excellent argument can be made that he qualified as a citizen of any and all of these nations.

Which is a gentle way of pointing out why someone like "Maori" Coningham could justifiably be listed on more than one national list.
