Our hearts are with these men,
wherever they go.
To mark the outbreak of World War One
The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, October 1914
recorded the names of the first group of Victoria University of
Wellington students who volunteered to serve in World War One: Students with the Expeditionary Force
In the coming months Spike recorded the
activities of students serving through letters to the editor, soldier
diary entries, a growing list of students who enlisted and, sadly, an
honour roll of those who were wounded or passed away. All of these
articles are available from the Spike project homepage.
The NZETC is also happy to make
available a collection of official and unofficial histories of New
Zealand troops involved in World War One. This collection is available here: http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-corpus-WH1.html
