No community was left untouched

World Wars I and II affected every New Zealander who lived through them.

One out of five Kiwi soldiers who served in WWI didn’t return, and 12,000 died during WWII. The loss of family members, colleagues and friends was felt right across society.
The prevalence of war memorials throughout Aotearoa shows that no community was left untouched.
