Auckland Museum - Cenotaph
The Centoaph is an online database containing records of New Zealand serviceman who
served their country. The site contains both a basic and advanced search, allowing you to
search on a range of criteria including name, theatre of war, serial number, cemetery,
unit and more. Details available for each individual include rank, next of kin, unit,
transport on embarkation, nominal roll references and biographical notes. For those who
were killed in action, additional information including place and date of death, memorial
details and cause of death are listed. Some records include images of war records,
memorials and photos of the serviceman.
