Gareth Davies Posted 17 July , 2018 Share Posted 17 July , 2018 Good morning team GWF I a trying to find the War Diaries of the NZ Div, the 3rd NZ Bde, and the 3rd NZ Bn for 29 August 1918 and I have no idea where to start looking. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 17 July , 2018 Share Posted 17 July , 2018 Should be on awm.gov.au website. Awm4 class 35. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOK4 Posted 17 July , 2018 Share Posted 17 July , 2018 They are probably also to be found in TNA? Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 17 July , 2018 Share Posted 17 July , 2018 Maybe TNA as well but awm ones are online and free. Archway also have a small selection. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Davies Posted 17 July , 2018 Author Share Posted 17 July , 2018 Thank you - but I can only find the WDs up to 1916. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted 17 July , 2018 Share Posted 17 July , 2018 TNA does show 451 hits for 'Zealand' under WO95. Online availability is another question. Alternatively there is Archway. https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz Not an easy site to navigate and again not online AFAIK. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
