Thames (NZ) NZE Tunnelling Company - TCDC update

An update from the first post, still hopeful of finding new information and names of WWI soldiers who were with the New Zealand Engineers Tunnelling Company on the Western Front during World War One.

The list of names is growing, and thanks to everyone involved who has helped with information and the 'helpers' around the country who have gone and taken grave site photos.
*****Update 5/5/2013: Men from the Thames-Coromandel now have their own link at NZETC*****

For further background on the tunnellers and their stories, take a look at the following videos available via the New Zealand Tunnelling Company Website.
