You know you work at a War Memorial Museum when you don't know the copier code but you guess "1915" cos it was a big year and you're right

@dr_wendym_RN APR Awaiting Passage Return, TT Travel Ticket and FRW For Return to Work (a guess)

Ww2 military historians - in a NZ file I see T.T & F.R.W. They were boarded as Grade1, which was same grade as enlistment. Leave was granted then they returned overseas. Would this have been a routine medical? I’d be grateful if someone could tell what the abbreviations are 🙏

@SimonMoody_NZ @katbhave @churchill_alex @GreatWarGroup I added outlines of the Prisoner of War Statements to WWI POW's in Online Cenotaph. Some of them have the term "escape" in them if of interest. aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/o…

@katbhave @churchill_alex @GreatWarGroup Yes he was. We also have a few photos of WWI NZ pows.

@churchill_alex @GreatWarGroup do you ever need another researcher?? Can send credentials.

@nzjazzhistory You were right!

@nzjazzhistory I will get my Librarians on to it but I think we have checked. Loved your Kiwi Concert Party article by the way. We referenced it in our recently posted article on Female Impersonators aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/o…

Random question but does anyone know the full names of Bill Bain and Tom Martin of the Kiwi Concert Party, I am trying to update their Online Cenotaph records and can't figure it out natlib.govt.nz/records/226846…

False alarm! Victor Gordon Thomas Martin aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/o…; William Ernest Bain aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/o…

@StephenClarkeNZ I was sent the transcription of the diary of Matthew Stewart of the Auckland Infantry Battalion just today. His entry from the 8th is devestating. aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/o…

In remembrance of the Battle of Chunuk Bair 110 years ago Friday night drinks is imagining being able to share a beer and a yarn with members of Wellington Regiment who were there at their Gallipoli Veterans Reunion, October 1968. Toast for The Fallen: The ANZACs 🍻

Lance-Corporal Malone is also remembered on the Hall of Memories @aucklandmuseum aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/o…

Excited to join the @NDFNZ on 30 Oct to discuss 'Unlocking the Power of Digital Volunteers'! Learn how digital volunteers contribute to the @AucklandMuseum’s Online Cenotaph ndf.org.nz/upcoming-event…

@nzjazzhistory 😊

For the first time ever a student has given me a thank you card because they enjoyed the class so much, and I'm all 🥹

Putting faces to names is always massively rewarding. I've just added an incredible 3,000+ portraits thanks to the Online Cenotaph @aucklandmuseum (openly licensed & easy access, high quality data). #NewZealand #FirstWorldWar #zoom=2&days=7&startDate=2024-10-08&lat=10&lon=0&updateType=Image" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">astreetnearyou.org/#zoom=2&days=7…

@MeganEKelleher I work for Online Cenotaph @aucklandmuseum and we have recently received the following research about Walter von Schramm of the NZ Graves Registration & Enquiries Unit researchgate.net/publication/37…

@StephenClarkeNZ @aucklandmuseum It is also confusing as the Cemetery and Memorial are in separate fields. Cassino War Cemetery aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/o… and Cassino War Memorial aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/o…

@StephenClarkeNZ @aucklandmuseum There a few personnel buried in the Anzio, Bari, Bolsena Caserta, Cesena, Naples, Milan and Udine War Cemeteries. This might be effecting the numbers. I will check the ones without Cemeteries.

With the completion of the 80th anniversary commemorations of Cassino let's look at the New Zealand casualties from the Official History of New Zealand in the Second World War (1957) #n356" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/t… #Cassino80
