Waitakaruru war memorial

Plaques with names from the memorial Gates to the memorial Plaques with names from the memorial

Waitakaruru memorial. The plaques in the top images are on the wall of a new looking community centre located on the northern side of SH 25 on the Thames side of the township. They copy the inscription from the original plaque which still appears on the memorial gates a few metres down the road at the entrance to the rugby club.

Des Drummond, 2009
