MEMORIAL TO FALLEN SOLDIERS.
By Telegraph—Press Association.'" NEW PLYMOUTH, April 19. «■ A meeting to-night of subscribers to the Transvaal Patriotic Fund resolved to devote the balance in hand of £137 with another £63 Jpromised to erecting a memorial on Marshland Hill to the memory of the men who fell in the South African War. The memorial will probably take the form of two obsolete guns mounted bearing appropriate tablets. It is felt that this will make the memorial distinctly commemorative and at the same time emphasise the military character of the historic hill on which has just been erected a handsome marble monument at a cost of £7OO to • the memory of colonial and Imperial troops who took part in the Maori wars. The latter memorial will probably be unveiled by the Governor on May 7th.
