Pokeno First World War memorial
Pokeno war memorial.
The Manukau City Council records tell us that the commemorative obelisk is mounted on a concrete base into which stones reputedly gathered by soldiers during the Waikato war are incorporated. For more information about the unveiling see 'Pokeno Memorial: Unveiling Ceremony', NZ Herald, 26/4/21, p. 6
