Scars on the Heart covers the New Zealand civil wars and Anglo-Boer War of the 19th century, the First and Second World Wars, the Asian conflicts, and NZ armed forces involvement in recent UN peacekeeping missions. The first stories visitors encounter are those of the New Zealand Wars of the 1840s and 1860s and the Anglo-Boer War of 1899 to 1902. Although not covered as extensively as the two World Wars, they are considered equally significant to our nation. The New Zealand Wars were essentially a civil war and they have an ongoing impact on New Zealand society today.
