Learn about our commitment to preserving Cook Islands' military heritage. About Us Kia Orana. In 2016 we began voluntarily researching Cook Islands World War One soldiers and their burial locations throughout the Cook Islands and overseas. During this time, we have also relettered a large number of veterans military and private granite headstone memorials throughout the Cook Islands and renovated the gravesites. We are now collating our World War Two research and this will be added to the website in due course. We have documented and GPS'd the graves of over 320 WWI soldiers in the Cook Islands (Rarotonga, Atiu, Aitutaki, Mauke & Mangaia) and many overseas. We have done this research voluntarily for the people of the Cook Islands and it is now time to share our valuable research via this online cenotaph. One of our teams most significant achievements came in 2019 with the release of the report into our 2017 New Zealand Defence Force / Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) submission, which saw six Cook Islands WWI returned servicemen's graves become the first CWGC graves located in the Cook Islands. These soldiers all died before the 31st of August 1921 from an injury or an illness they contracted during their war service as per CWGC criteria. Three are located in Rarotonga, two in Aitutaki and one in Atiu. These graves will be cared for in perpetuity by the CWGC. Our next major achievement came on 18 November 2025, when it was announced that approximately 85 men who served in the Cook Islands Local Defence Force during the Second World War, and who were incorrectly denied their medals in 1953, would now have them posthumously awarded. We first raised this issue with the NZDF in late 2024 and have since worked closely with them to bring about this long-overdue recognition. You can read more about this announcement here: https://www.nzdf.mil.nz/media-centre/news/nzdf-and-researchers-confirm-85-cook-islands-soldiers-eligible-for-second-world-war-service-medals/ "The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) started looking into the situation at the request of the team of voluntary researchers at the Cook Islands Online Cenotaph. With the help of researchers Cate Walker and Bobby Nicholas, the NZDF has identified at least 85 members of the CILDF who are eligible for Second World War medals ."
