Very interesting. Memorial Oaks is made mention at some length by Pat White in his fine book ,"Where the land lies of ,longing and belonging." Especially the chapter "Tararuas as a Gallipoli: suite.." He writes about his family connections in the district and a Jack Dunn an uncle who died at Chunuk Bair in 1916.
Pat did a painting about Gallipoli bearing the chapters title using the Tararuas as a backdrop,theme and the local communities connetions to the battle.
