Nelson/Tasman WWI Combatants

NZSG Nelson has done extensive work on Nelson/Tasman WWI Combatants with Peter Millward and Nelson Provincial Museum. While still in the work phase, we are nearing the end of what is now a seven year project with the complete listing of men and women who served in any capacity during WWI now held on the Nelson Provincial Museum website www.nelsonmuseum.co.nz - click "research". Those who served have a live link from that database to their On-Line Cenotaph record at Auckland War Memorial Museum and from there to their Military Record at Archives NZ. This database will soon include those who were conscripted but did not subsequently join up or embark on foreign service. This data will also include material on those appealing to the Military Service Board.

Details of the Reserve Rolls and appeals are held at Ancestors Attic, NZSG Nelson Branch Library,67 Trafalgar Street, Nelson, email nelson@genealogy.org.nz. There are a small number of names marked with an * in the database for whom details of service are still under investigation. The Wall of Remembrance at Founders Heritage Park, Nelson includes only the names of those who actually served and indicates also the names of those who died as a result of that service.
