There was a strong representation of the 2nd. N.Z.E.F. present. Wreaths were placed at the foot of the hall by Paeroa-Hauraki Returned Services Association, Women’s War Service Auxiliary, Kaihere School Children, Kaihere Women’s Institute and by the general public. The “Last Post” was sounded by a member of the 2nd. N.Z.E.F. The sum of £5 13s 0d was collected for the Paeroa-Hauraki Returned Services Association.
