ANZAC DAY.
CEREMONY AT NEW PLYMOUTH. The ceremony in connection with the commemoration of Anzac Day will in all probability take a different form in New Plymouth this year. The Returned Soldiers’ Association is taking a keen interest in the matter and it is proposed to hold the ceremony in Pukekura Park. Returned soldiers, veterans of the Taranaki Rifles, Maori Wax* veterans, South African veterans, Legion of Frontiersmen, members of Rifle Clubs, Territorials, Cadets-, Boy Scouts, and other similar bodies, will be invited to join the parade and march past a saluting base in review order, afterwards forming a square. This part of the ceremony will be followed immediately by a service lasting 20 minutes, in which representatives of all denominations will be invited to take part. A portion of the ground will be specially reserved for relatives of deceased soldiers. After the service the National Anthem will be sung by the whole Assembly, led, it is hoped, by the Citizens’ Band. Subsequently a firing party of 100 returned soldiers will fire three volleys, the “Last Post” will be sounded, and the band will play the “Dead March in Saul.” The troops will then march off the parade ground, disbanding in Liardet Street.
