In Memory Remembrance Website
In 2008 to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the World War I Armistice, Auckland Museum launched the In Memory website to tell the story of three ‘ordinary’ New Zealanders who faithfully served their country during the Great War. Their wartime experiences are told through a combination of letters sent to loved ones, photos from the Museum’s archive, rare film footage and original recordings of songs from the era.
