New Zealand

Close to 30,000 New Zealand servicemen and women are commemorated by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in our cemeteries and on our memorials around the world. New Zealand and Māori forces served with distinction in both the First and Second World Wars, including the bloody fighting at the Somme and Gallipoli. Tell us their stories.
