Hi Chris, you'll find a higher resolution copy of the painting on Archives NZ's War Art website. If you need a larger copy than the one available online I suggest you contact Archives NZ. Information about obtaining NZDF service records can be found here. Good luck with your search. Regards, Gareth

Two questions.
1.Is it possible to obtain a high resolution copy of this image suitable for framing?
2.My grandfather was a driver with 2 NZEF RMT Service # 65061.

I'm wanting to find out more about his service history,(he passed away approx 20 years ago while I was living in Australia and I have been unable to find a copy of his death certificate). Is there anywhere online I can find out or do I have to go to the NZ Army to request a copy of his service record.

I'm particularly interested in whether he was at the Break out and the vehicles he may driven through his service.

Regards

Chris
