Te Aroha War Memorial - 22 April 2011




An impressive memorial especially the bronze soldier on top which was made by the Italian artist Giobanni it has great detail.  There are 102 soldiers remembered on the memorial.  The memorial is in the town centre.

  1. I just read a piece in the Western Leader. Am enjoying your work on this blog and realise the importance of each story behind each name etched on the memorials you have visited. A very worthy, and interesting project. Many thanks!

    Not sure if you are including Rolls of Honour as memorials, but here is one you may not know about. Best wishes for your project - a wonderful idea.
