Honouring New Zealanders who served in the First World War
1914-1918 Honouring New Zealanders who served in the First World War
At 11am on 11 November this year, Aotearoa New Zealand will mark the centenary of the Armistice that ended the First World War in 1918. As word of the Armistice reached our shores 100 years ago, the Evening Post described the scene in Wellington: “There were songs and cheers, miscellaneous pipings and blastings, and tootings and rattlings—a roaring chorus of gladsome sounds.”
The Field of Remembrance, located in front of Auckland War Memorial Museum, contains over 18,000 white crosses, each bearing the name of a man or woman who lost their life in the conflict during the years of WWI. (Photo taken when we visited this moving Installation recently.)
Red poppies symbolising hope and regrowth are placed by every cross with a garden of poppies under each Pohutakawa tree surrounding the field.
