After the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 the people of Niue offered a contingent to serve with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF). This offer was taken up in mid-1915 when difficulties were being experienced in obtaining enough reinforcements for the NZEF's Māori Contingent.

The 150-strong contingent sailed for New Zealand on 13 October 1915. In New Zealand the Niueans underwent training at the Narrow Neck Camp in Auckland. They sailed for Egypt in February 1916 with the 3rd Maori Reinforcements.
Service personnel of Niuean descent also enlisted in the New Zealand Defence Force during WWII and later conflicts.
The list is a work in progress. Please contact the Online Cenotaph team if you are aware of an individual of Niuean descent that is not represented on this list.
