Wattle Downs family creates stunning memorial to remember war heroes

Caroline Williams Reporter from Manukau Courier

A young family has built an Anzac memorial outside their house to remember the sacrifices made by those who battled in war, as the world faces a new struggle against coronavirus.
Wattle Downs resident Shannon Tahu and his daughters Eliza, 8, and Mena, 11, built the memorial on their fence and the grass outside their Hobart Cres property using things they had lying around the house.
The brightly coloured mural depicts the silhouettes of two service members guarding a cross. The rest of the fence has been decorated with wooden poppies, as well as poppies from locals.
Twenty-five white crosses stand proudly in front of the mural, one for each of the 22 Kiwis awarded a Victoria Cross.
