The impact of the First World War, and in particular the Western Front, on New Zealand and the experiences of New Zealanders who fought there are relevant to a number of achievement standards across all levels. This feature provides students with a context for historical investigation and, therefore, the research standards at each level. It has particular relevance to the following Level 2 topics and achievement standard:

• extension for the Level 2 topic on the Origins of the First World War
• a case study associated with the Level 2 topic on 'The growth of New Zealand identity 1890–1980'
• Achievement standard 2.6: Examine individual or group identity in a historical setting.
