Welcome

WW100.today provides a rich resource for the study of New Zealand’s military history.

The main research gateway is Auckland War Memorial Museum’s Cenotaph Database. Cenotaph Database contains biographical records and photos for over 250,000 New Zealanders, many of whom gave their lives in war. There are entries for men and women who served in South Africa in the 19th century, through the First and Second World Wars to Korea, Malaya and Vietnam in the 1950s to 1970s, and even recent peacekeeping deployments.

There are also links to key archival and research sites which can be used to build up a detailed service picture for Armed Forces personnel and Merchant Navy employees, especially relating to WWI service.

WW100.today is a consolidation of the internet resources available and provides an associated methodology for researching individuals who served in specific services and conflicts. To use this resource, follow the methodology defined for each conflict and service. Each step will often provide information required for the next step.

Thanks and Enjoy !!
