Hello, I would like to know the unveiling date of the Makara Great War Memorial. I had a look at it today and wasn't able to find out, it also doesn't appear on this page. Is there any existing historical scholarship on this memorial?

Thanks

Hi Alex. Looks like it was 22 May 1921 - I've now added a link to the PapersPast article in the caption. Regards, Jamie Mackay
