Article about this memorial
Taranaki Daily News 26 April 2006, re relocation from Warea School (closed) to Cape Egmont Boating Club
Pat Sole was literally the last man standing in Cape Egmont yesterday.
Mr Sole was the district's only war veteran who was still alive and present at a ceremony to relocate a memorial flagpole and plaque from Warea School.
Residents concerned that the memorial war plaque would be lost with the closure of the school last year relocated it to the Cape Egmont boat club yesterday.
Dozens of men from the Warea district, who fought in World War I and II, were listed on the plaque and their names were read out in a public ceremony. But Mr Sole was the only person from the plaque present.
"It's a wonderful, unique opportunity to see my name and be allowed to see it there," Mr Sole said.
The only other survivor from the plaque was his cousin M. P. Sole, who now lived in Kaitaia.
However, Father Francis Garty said there was no chance the war veterans would be forgotten.
"What's taken place in the last 15 years I don't know, but there's been a great trend towards Anzac Day," he said.
"You only had to be at Okato this morning to realise it means a lot to a lot of people."
About 50 people attended the afternoon ceremony at the boat club, where the names of war veterans from Pungarehu were also read out.

Hello, I am currently researching my paternal grandmother's family. F and C Pierson were her brothers, my great uncles. My grandmother was Hannah or Johannah Pierson and she married Percy Julian.
I am struggling to find when Frank and Charles Piersons parents Carl and Ellen Pierson arrived in New Zealand from Australia and where their birthplace was. I wonder if anyone can tell me more please?
What do you know?
