The International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) is appealing for volunteers around the world, including in New Zealand, to identify, photograph and geolocate memorials to members of RAF Bomber Command. This work has been done for the UK, and the scope is now spreading worldwide.
An explanation of the memorials project is here. It states that a memorial can take any form and be dedicated to an individual, a crew, a squadron, unit or airfield.
The memorials are linked to entries in the IBCC losses database, so people with an interest in an individual (or crew, aircraft etc) can identify and easily visit them. If you take a name from any of the memorials shown in the linked article, you can see how this works.
IBCC are asking for volunteers, and invite people to email info@internationalbcc.co.uk with 'Memorials' in the subject line to get further details.
