The descendants of five Taranaki First World War soldiers are being sought by Stratford District Council.
Neil Cooper, parks and property assets manager at Stratford District Council, says he would like to return some documents to the soldiers' families.
He says when the Stratford RSA building was sold, following the closure of the Stratford RSA, council agreed to find a new home for some of the memorabilia the RSA had collected over the years.
"We are now in the process of going through all the items and making decisions on what is to be done with each one."
