I live in Auckland, New Zealand (NZ) and travel often. We love going to out-of-the-way small cemeteries and photographing all the memorials, knowing it may help families in the future.

Both my husband and I spent over 20 years each in the NZ military (Air Force and NZ Army) and focus on military graves. For historic NZ personnel military information, you may find the following links helpful:
