Unmarked graves at Taradale cemetery

Denise from Marewa

I tried to do this last year and someone suggested Richard Dampney has a daughter living in Napier. In order to get these soldier's a marker for their graves, I need to hear from family. Please ask them to message me or email napierwargraves@gmail.com.
Seeking family for the following soldiers buried at Taradale (Napier) cemetery and don't have a headstone. It may be possible to get them one if no-one comes forward but we must first check there is no-one who may wish to object.

Richard Henry Dampney WW2 578787 died 20 August 1990
George Bernard Timlin WW1 64387 died 18 August 1921
John Morrison MacConnell WW2 281537 died 5 September 1998

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
