Embarkation database - NZ in the South African ('Boer') War

This database was compiled by Colin McGeorge from the Education Department of the University of Canterbury. Colin became interested in the South African War while completing his PhD thesis on the social and moral values fostered in New Zealand schools between 1877 and 1914. The information was sourced from the nominal rolls of the New Zealand Contingents published in the Appendices to the House of Representatives.

Sorry, this online database is temporarily disabled. Please email info@nzhistory.net.nz if you would like us to do a search for you.

The database contains the names, contingents, companies, registration numbers, ranks, embarkation details, addresses, next of kin and occupations of every New Zealand soldier who joined the New Zealand contingents that sailed to the South African War. Note that some New Zealand soldiers enlisted with British, Australian or South African forces and will therefore not appear on this database.

There is an online Database of Australians who fought in the South African War maintained by Colin Roe. See also the Australian War Memorial site.

Roll of Honour

Note this Roll does not include those New Zealanders who served with other forces, or some of those who died from disease. For a more complete roll see, Crawford, J & E. Ellis To Fight for the Empire: and Illustrated History of New Zealand and the South African War, 1899-1902. You can find out more about all the men listed below on Auckland War Memorial's Cenotaph website.
