NZ experienced one of its darkest days on 12th October 1917, with the loss of 843 soldiers. This devastating loss of life remains the highest one-day death toll suffered by NZ forces overseas.
The National Commemorative Programme in Wellington is:
3pm – National Ceremony and Belgian Memorial Unveiling – Pukeahu National War Memorial Park. A live stream of these events will be available on the WW100 website and Facebook page and screened at Te Papa (wet weather venue).
5pm – Last Post Ceremony, National War Memorial
6pm – Passchendaele Reflective Event, Te Papa
The proposal is a way to protect the wonderful dark skies of the south eastern corner of Wairarapa. Could bring lots of star gazing tourists and be something really cool for the region. What do you think?
