stephen binks Posted 2 November , 2015 Share Posted 2 November , 2015 Having trouble seeing the wood for the trees; is there a simple way to find this resource? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 2 November , 2015 Share Posted 2 November , 2015 Search for Australian War Memorial , the ANZAC records are there,free. Here: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/awm4/ The diaries for the HQ's commanders & Corps are there, I'm not sure how far down the chain of command the diaries are available.i.e whether individual NZ infantry battallions have diaries there. Have a look anyway. When II Anzac became XXII Corps, those records were filed at Kew. Those aren't yet online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy007 Posted 3 November , 2015 Share Posted 3 November , 2015 I think they go down to battalion/regiment level as I know Wellington Mounted Rifles' dairies are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Macpherson Posted 3 November , 2015 Share Posted 3 November , 2015 I might be wrong but I think the digitised war diaries are still in the pipeline at Archives New Zealand. The diaries were to be digitised for the 100 year celebrations but archives were struggling with getting all the soldiers files digitised and online, on time. When I check the 3rd Bn Canterbury Regiment, archives still stay the diaries have to be viewed in the reading room, Wellington City. Here is the search engine, use the simple search option. What diaries are you looking for I have a few and I know another forum member who has many. Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksdad Posted 10 November , 2015 Share Posted 10 November , 2015 Hi Delta I don't believe that these are online, you need to visit the archives in Wellington. If you have a particular idea of the months you want I can supply these for you PM me and supply an email address Thanks Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
