Rembering the fallen
New Zealand war memorials
New Zealand war memorials
New Zealanders, like every other nation in the world, remembered their lost in memorials of stone. Here is a selection of memorials that I thought were interesting. Often they were erected by small communities, communities as small as several hundred. This puts the financial burden of many of these memorials into perspective.
I would welcome photographic contributions of memorials from readers of all other nations. Please send them in jpeg format.
