Patsy, that sounds like a great project. Can I suggest that you put a QR Code Plaque on each memorial, so that anybody with a smart phone can look up a web page with information about these soldiers. Have a look at the article in the FamNet December newsletter: - http://www.famnet.org.nz/newsletters/FamNet/December_2013/Newsletter.htm#_To c374373068 The walkway project is still working its way through approvals etc, but in the meantime the Barbarians Rugby Football Club have used the concept to put these plaques on several of their clubroom memorabilia. Contact me if you want to know more.

I believe there are many similar projects of this type underway around the country. Here in Motueka we have put together bios for all the men on our area's memorial as well as many who are not recorded there. Not every fallen soldier was mentioned on a memorial - also we have found that some are recorded on memorials elsewhere.. It is a great way to commemorate these men and to personalise them for others to read. Our bios will be part of a WW1 exhibition at our local museum, so folk will be able to browse them and, if interested, obtain a copy.
