“ 'Wv Ue decu) in -mmiy <6O tft-at Xjou may Viw iiv'iv jn 3 3 « ace.” Erection of a Centotaph, Cass Square, Hokitika, in Memory of the Fallen from Westland. Hokitika, March 26th, 1920. To the People of Westland, — The Great War is over and the time has come for the people of Westland to set up a Memorial to the Men and Women who havejallen in the common cause of National defence and National preservation. Many have lost relatives—all have lost friends, and it is a duty cast upon us to see that an enduring- monument should be erected commemorative oftlie sacrifices made. They died in Gallipoli, in Egypt, in Prance, in Belgium, and on the high seas where the war and all that it entailed, was waged. We can, at least, record their heroism and death in a monument to stand for all time. The intention is to erect a Cenotaph—a monument erected to one buried elsewhere—that will be not only a visible symbol in which to enshrine the memory of the fallen, but which will be, also, for those who come after, a message and an inspiration.. In accordance with the popular wish, the Committee which has been entrusted, with the work desires that the funds for the memorial—a. sum of not less than .£1,500 —should be obtained by voluntary subscription and without recourse to the ordinary method of raising public funds. It has been decided to make a special collection throughout the towns and district of Westland from April 15th to April 25th (Anzac Day). The lists will close on the latter date, which is the occasion fixed for laying the foundation stone of the memorial. It is felt that the people of Westland will enter into this matter in the right spirit, and will mark their love and gratitude by giving freely and liberally to the fund. The public are asked to bear the collecting period in mind, and their co-operation is looked for to provide the amount by Anzac Day, when all are invited to be present at the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Westland memorial to the heroic fallen. Inviting heads of households, employers, directors, officials and all controlling or employing a staff to make this appeal as widely known as possible, and asking their assistance in securing practical help from one and all, We are, on behalf of the General Committee, G. A. PERRY, Mayor of Hokitika. T. W. BRUCE, Chairman, Westland County Council. R. WILD, Chairman, Hokitika Harbor Board. W* SPECIAL TO CONTRIBUTORS. Lists are with collectors as per official list herewith. Contributions may be sent direct to the collectors, or will be called for by the collectors between April 15th and 25th. Eirms, or companies, or Westland residents living outside the district, may forward their contributions to the Hon. Treasurer, Town Hall, Hokitika.

Teachers in charge of schools have been invited-to make a special collection from their pupils to the Fund. The money so raised will be kept separate and earmarked for engraving- the names of the Fallen Soldiers and Nurses on the Stone of Remembrance to be fixed in the centre of the Cenotaph.
