Welcome to the New Zealand Remembrance Army - War Graves and Memorials Appeal.

‘At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them’. Thanks to the New Zealand Remembrance Army – Te Taua Manaaki o Ngā Morehu (NZRA) these are words taking on renewed significance.

Across Aotearoa New Zealand, our teams are honouring the sacrifice of those who served by returning dignity to their graves. Our vision is to have every service grave pristine, every service contribution remembered.

By donating to the New Zealand Remembrance Army you’re helping us to respectfully clean, restore and preserve headstones that symbolise the memory of our service men and women for future generations to pay their respects.

We are seeking donations to provide service people with unmarked graves a headstone. In cemeteries around New Zealand there are potentially hundreds of soldiers in unmarked graves that lack a headstone indicating who is buried there.

There are over 350,000 estimated service graves in New Zealand. Many of these sit uncared for in public cemeteries.

For the NZRA, remembrance is not just on ANZAC Day - its every day. The ode from For the Fallen sees renewed meaning through our work. Because no one that served should face the indignity of an unreadable grave, in an ill maintained cemetery, forgotten by time and compliancy.

More about us

The New Zealand Remembrance Army is a charitable trust set up to foster volunteer groups across New Zealand to restore service headstones and memorials. All restoration is done freely and volunteers carry out the work in their local communities.

I was raised and schooled Roman Catholic, baptised into this religion as a baby. Right up to the age of 58 and before being saved 18 months ago, I assumed that Jesus was Roman, I didn't know He was God, I didn't know it was through Him alone (*and NOT any Religion) that I could be saved, let alone "what" He was saving me from. Meanwhile all these years in the background He was performing an EPIC RESCUE MISSION of complete miracles for me to now know without doubt that He is the only Way, the Only Truth, and the only Life. (I had already tasted or rubbed shoulders with everything else and suicide was now the only option I thought I had left.) Jesus Christ is the Completeness/Full Satisfaction that my mind, heart, body and soul had always yearned and searched for. If you are reading this and are still yearning for completeness/satisfaction, or in doubt or fear whether you will be in God's Kingdom after death or not, call out for Jesus Christ with everything you have and see this EPIC RESCUE MISSION miracle happen for you. “8The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek (Non-Jew), for the same LORD over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” Romans 9
