Anzac Web Sites

Here are the web sites that I recommend you use to search for an Australian or New Zealand soldier from World War I

• National Archives of Australia – contains the digitised service records of all members of the Australian Armed Forces in World War I. http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/NameSearch/Interface/NameSearchForm.aspx
• The Australian War Memorial – look under both People and War History from the top menus.  https://www.awm.gov.au/
• Archives of New Zealand – the main catalogue includes WWI service records and wills left by soldiers. http://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/
• Archives of New Zealand also have a page dedicated to WWI. http://archives.govt.nz/world-war-one
