This is great, especially when the Carillion in Wellington has some WWII badges on its WWI displays.
I noticed recently on the war memorial in my hometown in Northern Ireland, that out of about 300 men who died in the Great War, about 8 of them had dies with the AIF, no doubt most of them were recent immigrants.
I'm sure that NZ would have been much higher, given the relative youth of the country itself. It still amazes me that you drive through any small town in Australia and New Zealand and the war memorials are just jam packed with names.
