    3. Hi there Listers, I am new to this list, I work for the Kingston Arthur's Vale Historical Area Management Board on Norfolk Island, Running the Norfolk Island Cemetery tours, and a historical home No 9. Quality Row originally the home of the Royal Engineers, it is now our KAVHA Restoration Heritage, Research and Interpretation Centre. During WW1 and WW2 Norfolk Island had the highest head of enlistment per ratio than any other commonwealth country. The Norfolk Islanders signed up with the local Militia, were then posted with other allied forces. Can someone please tell me were to look to find records of when and where, they were posted to. Thanks Liz -------------------------------------------------- This E-mail has been scanned for virus content by Trend IMSS at Norfolk Telecom.

    3. Liz, In WWW1 Norfolk Islanders enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force, the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, and the British Army. They are all listed on the Honours Board at the RSA. I have a list of all those in the NZEF. The ones in the Australian force can be found at both the Australian War Museum site, and the National Archives of Australia site- search for Norfolk Island 1910-1920. The ones in Britain may be at NAA, or will be in the Medal cards lists at the PRO site. For WW2 it is probably the same, but I don't have any information for WW2 NZ The odd person could be in some other army.
