Photo hunt: Memorial

This plague is at the outside wall of our Town hall. The building was opened in 1911,

150 years of our Heritage.

At Western Springs, a very popular park, we remember the American Soldiers who were in our country in 1942-1944.

I took the photos of the Town Hall when I went last week to watch the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.

To all our American friends, I join you in solemn remembrance of all your heros on Memorial Day. In New Zealand, we celebrated ours on ANZAC Day last month.

    I'm impressed with NZ's remembrances all over the country.

    I must have seen this in my previous life, only that I cannot recall by now.

    Didn't realize there were American soldiers stationed in New Zealand ever, never mind World War 2. Interesting!
