'Heartlanders of World War One' Travelling Exhibition

A travelling museum exhibition from the National Army Museum which tells the stories of ordinary New Zealanders in the First World War and takes their stories back to the communities where their journey began.

The exhibition, which is free to visit, is travelling in 3 shipping containers around New Zealand. The exhibition provides a good overview of New Zealanders' involvement in the First World War and the stories of our brave men and women are supported by artefacts that belonged to these people.

The exhibition also contains an Auckland War Memorial Museum Cenotaph Digitisation Unit which will enable the public to search the Cenotaph database for information on soldiers who have served.
