THE MONUMENT TO NEW ZEALAND HEROES.
The New Zealand war and the naval heroes who fell in it have just received a tribute of respect and honor in the erection of a monument at Greenwich Hospital to their memory. The monument is a massive stone affair, and is placed just opposite the Ship Hotel, from the windows of which hostelry I first observed the structure, and thus was led to enquire about it. It is erected, so says the inscription, by the surviving officers and men to the memory of their comrades of Her Majesty’s ships Curacoa, Miranda, Esk, Harrier, and Eclipse, who fell in the war in New Zealand in the years 1863-4. The names of those who fell are carved and gilded on the four sides of the base of the monument. Correspondent Auckland Star.
