By September 1942 the output of the New Zealand Forestry group exceeded that of all the other forestry groups (British, Canadian and Australian) combined. Two of the forestry companies were disbanded in 1943 and the remaining one was sent to Algeria and then Italy, before also being disbanded in 1944.
