Comment
149 Niue recruits (from a population of only 4,000) joined the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in October 1915. Many of these men perished due to lack of immunity to illnesses and the harsh European cold.Niue commemorates the contribution and sacrifice made by these men, with annual ANZAC Day (Memorial Day) services held on April 25. The tragedy of this unique story is tempered with pride that their nation and men participated.
2015 marks the 100th Anniversary of these Niuean Heroes leaving their homes to serve their country.
