New Zealand War Graves Trust project

Welcome to the re-designed website of the New Zealand War Graves Trust. This is the site where the photographs, research and background information from the Trust's project are lodged.

This website is a work in progress. Photographs and information will continue to be uploaded to the website over the next two years. Already there are over 11,000 photographs on the website. More will be added as they come to hand.

The website was developed by Zest Media thanks to a grant from the Lottery Grants Board.
