Dame Silvia Cartwright unveils new plaques at the rededication of the Palmerston North Cenotaph, 11 am, 13 August 2005.
The two new plaques have been engraved with 84 WWI names not shown on the original main plaque, as well as names from WWII and other conflicts. The two smaller plaques, previously either side of the main list of names, have now been moved to above the stones at the front of the steps.
