Hi Alex. Looks like it was 22 May 1921 - I've now added a link to the PapersPast article in the caption. Regards, Jamie Mackay
Hello, I would like to know the unveiling date of the Makara Great War Memorial. I had a look at it today and wasn't able to find out, it also doesn't appear on this page. Is there any existing historical scholarship on this memorial?
Thanks
