Pukeahu National War Memorial Park in Wellington serves as a reminder of the New Zealanders who served and gave their lives in the South African War, two World Wars, Korean war, and wars in Malaysia and Vietnam as well as on various peace-keeping operations all over the world. The Memorial Park consists of New Zealand's National War Memorial, with the War Memorial Carillon built in 1932, the Hall of Memories built in 1964, the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior added in 2004, and the Australian War Memorial built in 2015. The Tomb of the Unknown Warrior hosts the remains of a New Zealand soldier who died during World War I on the Western Front. He could not be identified and serves as a symbol of all the New Zealand soldiers who did not make it back home.
