            [history] => Seafarers who served in the merchant navy during World War I and/or II, are entitled to a war medal for their service. They are also entitled to a war grave. Only the Maritime Safety Authority can approve the issue of war medals to N.Z. merchant seamen (or to next-of-kin) or the provision of a war grave. A card index for active and non-active war graves is located through the Internal Affairs Department Record Group lists [refer to later accessions w1834 and w3605]. 

This index records the issue of the war medals, and is in two alphabetical sequences, one for World War I and one for World War II. It is still current as Maritime Safety Authority staff, upon receiving an inquiry will check the index before approving the issue of a new war medal and will then add a new card to the index.
