North East Valley School memorial. Doug Hopkins tells us that the soldier was taken down many years ago as an earthquake risk. On 11 November 2007 it was returned to the top of the war memorial gate with a rededication service. 'How proud we all were when the soldier stood on top again!'
Information and first four images: Doug Hopkins, 2009; last two images: Bruce Comfort, 2011
