We will remember them

Audrey Tolua from Red Cross - Hastings Service Centre

After almost four-and-a-half years, World War I came to an end on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month on November 11, 1918.

The fighting ceased at 11am, but not before it claimed a toll of more than 18,000 New Zealanders’ lives, of 100,000 in total (or ten per cent of the population… View more
After almost four-and-a-half years, World War I came to an end on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month on November 11, 1918.

The fighting ceased at 11am, but not before it claimed a toll of more than 18,000 New Zealanders’ lives, of 100,000 in total (or ten per cent of the population at the time) who served overseas including 425 soldiers from the Hastings district.

Today at 11am on 11 November, throughout Aotearoa New Zealand we will mark the centenary of the Armistice that ended the First World War in 1918 with a two minute silence of remembrance. This silence will be broken by a “Roaring Chorus” of joyful noise, echoing the celebrations of 100 years ago when people fill the streets in a spontaneous and jubilant celebration at news of the war’s end.

Club Hastings RSA Commemorations
Hastings Town Clock
Commencing 10:30am

Free buses will be provided – one departing 9.45am at Havelock North domain at the Te Mata Rd bus stop, and one at the Flaxmere shopping village, also at 9.45am.

In memory of the ones who did not make it home. We will remember them.
