We have updated nearly 4,000 WWII Online Cenotaph records to include their JayForce service. This consists of those who served in Italy and the Middle East. I wonder how they felt thinking their war service was over then being diverted to Japan. www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial....

Profile image of Ben Peckham wearing medals in the WWII Hall of Memories at Auckland Museum. Quote "...the mental space of being a soldier will never leave you, it is always there, and that's where the struggle happens, to assimilate back to what you were."

Pretty proud of the story I wrote with Bosnian War veteran Ben Peckham.

For Mental Health Awareness Week, this Cenotaph Story puts a spotlight Ben’s journey and his tireless advocacy for veterans. Read his story here: bit.ly/3sSWsXq
