1932 Birthday Honours (New Zealand)

The 1932 Birthday Honours in New Zealand were appointments by King George V to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by citizens of the Dominion of New Zealand. They were announced on 3 June 1932.

The honours recognised service in a wide range of fields, including public service, local government, education, the military, and charitable work. Recipients were drawn from across New Zealand society. The list, as was typical for the time, predominantly recognised men, although several women were also honoured for their contributions.

Orders and decorations awarded included:

• Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George (GCMG)
• Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George (KCMG)
• Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE)
• Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE)
• Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE)
• Companion of the Imperial Service Order (ISO)

Specific details of the recipients and their citations are a matter of historical record, typically found in the London Gazette and related publications. These honours played a significant role in acknowledging service and upholding the values of the British Empire within New Zealand society during that era. Further research into archival records would be necessary to provide a comprehensive listing of all recipients and their respective accomplishments.
