Me

Hello, I'm Kris.

This year (2014) marks the 100th anniversary of the start of The Great War. I have a bunch of brave great uncles who willingly served with New Zealand's forces during World War 1, believing they were doing their duty. I wish to remember each of them in a special way. Earlier this year I began a quest to learn the stories of each of my great uncles. I decided to record my discoveries here on this blog as a memorial to their sacrifice and courage. Doing it this way has made their stories accessible to my wider family. It is my hope that by sharing these stories we may understand more about the cost of our freedom and learn that the effects of the war linger long into the future.

The stories on this blog are a work in progress. My discoveries are ongoing. If you can add to, or correct any information on this blog, then I'd love to hear from you. You can email me at kirfsteiny@gmail.com

Lest we forget.
