On Wednesday 10 November 2004, the Unknown New Zealand Warrior returns to his homeland.
The Unknown Warrior is one of over 250,000 New Zealanders who served in overseas wars. He is one of 30,000 New Zealanders who died in service. He is one of over 9000 New Zealanders who have no known grave or whose remains could never be recovered. As the Warrior’s name, rank, regiment, race, religion and other details are unknown, he represents and honours all Zealanders who became lost to their families in war.
