Find your soldierWe keep the soldier, never the visitor. No names, emails, IP addresses or browser details of anyone searching are stored. The live trail counts only real searches: a soldier counts once each time he is looked up, and repeat look-ups within ten minutes count once. The two pinned rolls are always shown and are not counted. Soldier details come from Auckland Museum’s Online Cenotaph, licensed CC BY.
