Our words from times of war

Matt Rilkoff Reporter from Taranaki Daily News

In commemoration of Anzac Day, the Taranaki Daily News is joining all other Stuff titles in the hunt for letters sent to by loved ones during times of war. These may be letters from those who served, or to those who served. They may be more than 100 years old, or they may be much more recent. We know these letters will have been passed down and may be very significant to your families. These letters will remain with you - we will just take a copy, which may then be published as part of our Anzac Day coverage. We aim to have about 25 to 30 letters from Taranaki. If you have any letters you would like to share, please email matthew.rilkoff@stuff.co.nz

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Taranaki Daily News has been shining a light on local history by sharing images from the New Plymouth District Council’s Puke Ariki Heritage Collections 📸

Recently, the archives put out a call for help—asking if anyone recognises the two unidentified people in this photograph.
