Mates on the Field - Wednesday 4 October
This unique tribute to New Zealand’s WWI heroes will see a giant poppy represented on Eden Park’s playing field, where personalised white crosses will honour the 492 New Zealanders who lost their lives during The Battle of Broodseinde in Belgium on 4 October 1917 including Dave Gallaher who captained The Originals in 1905.
Gallaher, a sergeant in the 2nd Battalion, Auckland Infantry Regiment, was killed when he led his men in an attack on ‘s Graventafel spur. Dave Gallaher’s cross will join 12 other white crosses to honour the 13 All Blacks who lost their lives during WWI.
Free tours of Eden Park, incorporating the on-field commemoration, will take place every hour on the hour from 9am to 6pm.
Visitors are welcome to stay for the sunset ceremony from 6.30pm which will conclude with a recital of The Ode to the Fallen and the playing of The Last Post.

Lost cat - Mt Eden
Still missing my girl 😔
Evie is a 14 year old grey tortie - quite pretty colouring (mainly grey with caramel) with some cream on her chest. No white on her at all. She has been missing since 16 November, 2023.
Please take a screenshot of this post so you have photos and my number handy in case you see her.
She likes people but might not let you pick her up so please take a video or photo if you see her and call me asap on 021 072 0933 (Anna).
She’s quite lean and small to medium size. When she’s happy she ‘talks’ ❤️ De-sexed and microchipped.
Last seen in Mont Le Grand Rd, Mt Eden. Please check your garage, shed, garden and under deck and house.
Apparently cats who are hiding don’t meow so please look carefully even if you don’t hear her. Thank you so much 🙏
