I am looking for information about the invasion of New Zealand by American forces in 1942. Where should I start?
NZ History online tells the story of the U.S. Marines stationed in NZ during WWII. Old St. Paul’s cathedral in Wellington played a major role in the lives of those stationed in the Wellington region, they still display the U.S. and Marine flags in commemoration. From 2007-2009 the cathedral housed an exhibit called “A Friend in Need” which told the story of these young men. The exhibition closed in June 2009 but will reopen at a permanent location later in the year.
