New Zealand Armed Forces Memorial Project
« on: Monday 24 April 06 23:34 BST (UK) »
http://www.nzafmp.org/  Just because you guys are such great sleuths, may be you could assist the project.

This project has two primary aims
A To photograph and collect a pictorial record of New Zealand war graves and memorials both overseas and in New Zealand to commemorate those servicemen and women who gave their lives in the service of their country.

B To collect photos and stories not only of those who lost their lives, but also of those who came home. Generation by generation stories and old photo's are being lost to us. Our aim is to record as many photos and stories as we can while those who remember can help us to provide an accurate online resource.

We will also be including peacekeepers and New Zealand citizens who served with other Allied forces.

The end result of all this work will be a FREE online database. We will not be charging any fees to access the site nor do we intend to pass on the database to anyone who will.

We are currently completing paper work to have the project registered as a Charitable Trust.

We need volunteers to photograph graves and memorials.
We want YOUR stories, photographs and details for inclusion on the site.
Can you help us with information/history on individual units, ships, squadrons etc.?
