How

On Sunday 12 October 2014, a free public event will be held at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand, where members of the Canterbury community will be invited to bring along their personal stories and artefacts relating to the First World War.

You can also register on this website and share your stories or artefacts now.

Who

Anybody who has First World War artefacts, or personal stories of those who experienced it can contribute. Not only related to soldiers and nurses on the front line but also the men, women and children who remained at home.

Several well-known local celebrities have contributed their own family war stories to the exhibition, and these will be joined over time by many more personal accounts contributed by the people of Canterbury.

Fundraising for the South Canterbury Field of Remembrance

As part of a national project being organised by the Fields of Remembrance Trust the Timaru WWOne Centenary Committee are producing 1,500 white crosses.

The crosses represent every man and woman from the region who died in the First World War.

The crosses will be on display in various sites throughout South Canterbury when they are completed and will be a major feature in Anzac Day commemorations in South Canterbury. We are now gathering funds in order to finish the white crosses. We're hoping to raise $15,000 for this project. We've raised $2,500 thus far. Please email Committee Chair Michelle Brown if you think you might be able to help with this project. We also intend to raise funds using digital currencies such as Bitcoin. This is due to the fact that crypto fundraising varies from traditional fundraising in a number of ways. It's also worth noting that there are several crypto exchanges to buy and sell cryptocurrencies in a efficient way. As a beginner, if you’re looking for the right platform to start trading, krypto broker vergleich guide is for you. Read on to find the best brokers and exchanges.
