Brooklyn war memorial

Ok, I've changed the number and date now - thanks guys!

Thanks, Ryan The reason there are so many names is that on the two sides and the back side the names record those who served, not those who died. The only ones who died are those on the front of the memorial under the heading 'these men died for their country'. In fact a recount shows that there were 48 who died, not 47; and according to the Auckland Weekly News the memorial was unveiled on 22 September 1923, not 1922. The report in that paper also says that 47 were killed, so either they could not count or one name was added later (but that does not seem likely since the names are in alphabetical order).

Just wondering why the number of dead is shown as 47 on the Brooklyn memorial, seems that there are a lot more names than that,or are the names shown of those who went to war and returned.Is that why the 'motherland' inscription is only on one face? It would be great if someone could clarify this for me. Also I think the memorial was unveiled in 1923, according to the W.C.C. conservation plan (which cites the Evening post 1923). Just curious as to where the 22 september 1922 date came from. Cheers.
