Otaio war memorial
Otaio war memorial. The memorial is made from Timaru Bluestone in three parts on a single concrete plinth. It has apparently been re-located recently and it (now) has a concrete surround, four newer bluestone bollards and a chain.
It comprises a Cross of St Andrew on square tapered column with an integral engraved tablet which shows that the name of must have been originally misspelled and it has clearly been carved back and re-engraved.
