First World War Centenary International Commemorations

The New Zealand Government is conducting First World War centenary commemoration services in France and Belgium (known as the Western Front) and in Turkey and Israel from 2016-2018.

Here you will find details about the individual commemorations and information to help you plan your attendance.

Access to these commemorations is not balloted – they are open to anyone wishing to commemorate New Zealand’s military service during the First World War regardless of nationality.

These commemorations are part of New Zealand’s First World War centenary programme, WW100. Information on the national commemorations held in New Zealand is available on the National ceremonies page.
