Anzac Web Sites

Here are the web sites that I recommend you use to search for an Australian or New Zealand soldier from World War I

  • National Archives of Australia – contains the digitised service records of all members of the Australian Armed Forces in World War I. http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/NameSearch/Interface/NameSearchForm.aspx
  • The Australian War Memorial – look under both People and War History from the top menus.  https://www.awm.gov.au/
  • Archives of New Zealand – the main catalogue includes WWI service records and wills left by soldiers. http://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/
  • Archives of New Zealand also have a page dedicated to WWI. http://archives.govt.nz/world-war-one
  • The Auckland War Memorial Museum's Online Cenotaph. http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/online-cenotaph
