Major Turley, officer in command of the military group, was present, as also were Lieutenants Fletcher and Garry, several returned soldiers, the members of the Kaipara Rifle Club, and the Cadets and Territorials. The Methodist Minister, Rev. J. A. Lamond, officiated, and preached a stirring, helpful, and hopeful sermon from the text: " A strong man's glory is in sacrifice."
