Respect Your Ancestors For You Are The Result Of A Thousands Loves
==========
I have a particular interest in WW1 and WW2 NZ Service people, and it is a passion of respect to research and connect our NZ fallen to their families where possible...not to let a service persons memorial just sit there with no information for years on end..

I use abbreviations in the suffix box for NZ Service people in the forces. From a New Zealand perspective (all our NZ service peoples records use an abbreviation). Please don't ask me to change it..
==========
Military enlistment documents often recorded incorrect dates of birth, either due to guaranteeing acceptance because they were to young or because the recruit honestly did not know his exact date of birth, especially WW1 enlistments.. As such, they should not be taken as an absolute reliable source.
==========
Military Abbreviation for 'Private'
PTE. Pte. = New Zealand, Australian, British Troops
PVT. Pvt. = American Troops

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you
