The Wall of Remembrance for all of the soldiers killed in every war since the Boer war in South Africa - New Zealanders always went to war if the British Empire were involved - not now thank goodness. We have no fighting forces overseas, only peace-keeping companies - we are nucleur free as well - this little country down here at the end of the world has mighty principles and sticks by them !!
Ellena and I always place a poppy at the cenetaph on ANZAC day in remembrance of my Grandfather who fought in WW1. He was only 19yrs old, had never been out of NZ and went off on a great adventure ! He was part of the mounted rifles, landing in Egypt, was wounded and sent home quite early on, thank goodness.
