Wartime letters sought
In commemoration of Anzac Day, The Southland Times is looking for letters sent to or from loved ones during times of war. We know these letters will have been passed down through families and may be very significant to your families. These letters will remain with you, we will just take a copy which will be published as part of our Anzac Day coverage. If you have any letters you would like to share, please email georgia.weaver@stuff.co.nz.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
