Aratoi museum, in partnership with Wairarapa Archive, will run a centenary exhibition of the Featherston training camp in January, to mark 100 years since it opened in 1916.
The museum is putting the call out for memorabilia to borrow for the exhibition, including war souvenirs, trench art, silks, postcards, flags, letters, journals, correspondence and photos.
Included in the exhibition will be the recently acquired medals of John "Jack" Dunn, a Tinui soldier who died at Gallipoli. Aratoi was successful in bidding at an auction for the medals, with the financial backing of Masterton's Heaton Haglund.
