ANZAC Day across the Pacific

From Anzac Day, 11:16 am on 25 April 2025

In October 1915, 160 men travelled from Niue to New Zealand to join the war effort.

They trained at the Narrow Neck camp on Auckland's North Shore and sailed to Egypt in February 2016 with the 3rd Māori Reinforcements, before travelling on to France and serving with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force.

Niue is 23 hours behind New Zealand and the island nation is preparing to observe ANZAC Day tomorrow.

The Niue RSA is made up of the descendants of the men who served in the First World War. President, Charlie Tohovaka speaks to Susana from the capital of Niue, Alofi.
