Rangiriri First World War memorial

The sad, neglected war memorial at Rangiriri. It may have been the gate way into a park or something similar but all that remains behind the small pillars is a broken concrete slab. SH 1 runs only a few meters behind this memorial which makes a mockery of the sentiment 'Lest we forget.'
