This Roll of Honour lists New Zealanders who were killed in action or died of wounds or from other causes during New Zealand's military involvement in Korea (1950–1957). It includes two New Zealanders (Privates B.C. Quintall and J.L. McKandry) who served with the Australian forces in Korea. Each name links to that soldier's page on Auckland Museum's Cenotaph database. Thirty-six of these men are buried in the United Nations Cemetery in Busan (Pusan), South Korea. The cemetery website includes images of graves and a burial report for each soldier.
