Headstone Unveiling

Denise from Marewa

You may have seen a recent article about a WW1 veteran lying in an unmarked grave at Park Island cemetery. NZ Remembrance Army, a nationwide group who restore the graves of veterans and tell their stories have purchased William Lee a headstone and it will be unveiled with a service on Saturday, 6 November at 11am.

Park Island cemetery is the one with the dog agility equipment at the bottom and it's across the road from Wharerangi cemetery where most people think all of the service people are buried.

Parking is limited so car pooling is wise as is parking at the sportsgrounds and walking from there. The cemetery is alongside the cycleway. The grave is at the top of the cemetery and to the left.
