American soldiers in New Zealand during World War 2
From the Auckland Museum website
"Auckland Museum has recently digitised a unique and heart-warming set of photos of US servicemen stationed at Warkworth, a provincial town in northern New Zealand, during the Second World War. These servicemen were in New Zealand in preparation for their departure for the Pacific theatres of war."
"Can you help us identify these US servicemen?
Unfortunately none of these photos are captioned so we don't know who these men are. Similarly, families in the US may never have seen these photos of their menfolk.
It would be wonderful for families or the men themselves to contribute to these photos with the names of these men."
There is a wide range of photographs from posed individual portraits and group shots to more casual photographs of servicemen fishing and enjoying themselves. If you had a family member in the US military who spent time in New Zealand during World War two they are well worth checking out.
