Collections & Research Anzac and WWII WWI - Chinese Anzacs Honour Roll: Chinese Anzac Soldiers The Honour Roll records and commemorates Australians of Chinese descent who have served and died defending the country during the First World War. The Museum’s Honour Roll contains some personal particulars of each person, including details of their contribution to the war effort. The list contains information transcribed directly from original source records. Some may contain cause of death, place of death, and cemetery or memorial details. Enhancing the database The Museum will continually upgrade and enhance the database as we uncover more information about Chinese Anzac soldiers, or more photos and objects are donated into the museum’s collections. You can assist: amendments and additions If you have family members who are Chinese Anzacs, we would like to hear from you and add their names to our growing list of soldiers.
