🇳🇿 THE GREAT LAST KIWI VETERAN HUNT 🇳🇿
We need your help.
The New Zealand Remembrance Army is trying to identify our remaining New Zealand Second World War veterans — servicemen and women who are still with us today.
We believe the number may now be down to around 25 nationwide.
At this stage, we don't believe there are many — if any — veterans remaining from the early years of the war.
Most of those still with us are likely to have served during the later stages of the conflict, particularly 1944–45.
But we want to find out.
Do you know a surviving Kiwi WWII veteran?
Army, Navy, Air Force, Merchant Navy, nursing services — wherever and however they served, we'd like to hear about them.
Please comment below with their name, age, service and unit/squadron/ship if known.
You can also message the page privately if the family would prefer.
These men and women are now an incredibly precious link to a generation that is rapidly passing into history.
Let's find them.
Let's recognise them.
And, while we still can, let's hear their stories.
🇳🇿 LEST WE FORGET 🌺
