Headstone unveiling ceremony

Denise from Marewa

On Sunday, 23 April, New Zealand Remembrance Army will be unveiling a new headstone for a returned WW2 soldier at Taradale cemetery. His service history will be read out, then last Post sounded, the new Zealand flag lifted from the headstone and a wreath laid on the grave. All are invited to attend the ceremony and we'll meet at the carpark in the Taradale cemetery by 9.50am and walk to the grave together. The service will proceed even if the weather isn't helpful.
