A consolidated roll of honour of officers of the New Zealand Railways Department who had fallen during the war was published as part of the minister’s annual Railways Statement in 1915 (pictured). A list of all those who had enlisted was also included. The roll of honour and list appeared annually until 1920. See roll for the whole of the war.
