This work is the "reflection" of the exhibition 60 Years ago... which is being held in a number of New Zealand towns and cities between July 2005 and March 2006 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between New Zealand and France. It draws together articles that look back on the establishment of diplomatic relations from an historical perspective and offers thanks to eye-witness accounts and official archival documents, new insight into the richness of our relations.

Entente Cordiale, a phrase sometimes used to describe the unofficial understanding between France and Great Britain in the years 1831-46, and more commonly to refer to the friendly relationship established between the two countries by a diplomatic agreement of April 1904.

The most important fruit of the "first entente" was Anglo-French cooperation in the establishment of the independent Kingdom of Belgium (1831-39). Disrupted by the mutual animosity of Palmerston and Adolphe Thiers in the Egyptian crisis of 1840, good relations were restored by King Louis-Philippe's removal of Thiers and the establishment of a conservative London-Paris axis by Aberdeen and François Guizot. The return of Palmerston to the British Foreign Office in July 1846 was taken by the French government as signifying the end of good relations, and the first entente ended in the affair of the Spanish Marriages.

In common historical usage, the term is more frequently applied to the relationship between Great Britain and France from 1904 to 1914. At the turn of the century, Anglo-French relations were strained throughout the world. In April 1904, a series of agreements settled their difficulties over Newfoundland fisheries,Siam, Madagascar and the New Hebrides, modified certain colonial boundaries in Africa, and provided that Britain and France should renounce their rights and interests in Morocco and Egypt respectively in favour of the other. This reconciliation of the two rivals profoundly affected the situation in Europe.

This book is dedicated to the memory of all New zealanders who served on the Western Front. They were a gallant generation.

New Zealand was never French, but somehow, somewhere, a little bit of the spirit of France remains. The numerous voyages our compatriots made and the settlements and homesteads they built an indelible mark on the landscape and the history of the country. We might call these traces French footprints in the soil of Aotearoa
