Will Serve Dual Purpose
One fact not generally known about the memorial gates now being erected at the Wairaka Pa is that it will be used to commemorate two important events to the district. It will be a lasting memorial to the memory of those Maori soldiers, who left New Zealand to serve in the Boer War and World Wars I and II and also as a monument to the sextennial celebrations. It will be the only memorial yet erected to commemorate the “fallen ’ soldiers of a whole canoe area.
