Connecting fallen ANZAC soldiers with their descendants

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 9 April 2024

As we get set to commemorate Anzac Day later this month, efforts have been underway to find descendants of 10 New Zealand World War One soldiers buried on the other side of the world.

The soldiers are buried in cemeteries in Scotland and will be remembered at a special Anzac Day service there this month.

Public Engagement Coordinator for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in Scotland, Patricia Keppie talks to Jesse.
