	This series description was compiled as part of a project to capture the finding aids created prior to 1987 into the GAIMS system. The series dates are based on the dates of holdings. Original Record Group series name was 'NZ War Records Section'. Record Group series WA9 'War Records Office' (series 17623) is from the same unit, so the series have been renamed War Records Section [1] and [2].

	The end date of holdings years post date the series dates as the arrangement of WA10 contains some WWII material, dated to c.1942.

	Photographs require that gloves are worn when viewing.

	Some of the text records also require special handling because of their fragile condition, these have been marked so on the list.
