Great War Stories 5 screening
Great War Stories (Series 5)
The fifth and final series of AC Productions’ Great War Stories begins with the invasion of Samoa and ends with New Zealand’s last action in the First World War with the liberation of the French town of Le Quesnoy.
Also featured is the music of Gareth Farr who composed a cello concerto in memory of relatives killed in World War I.
The letters, diaries and photographs preserved in the Alexander Turnbull Library have provided a wonderful resource for telling personal stories, says Anna Cottrell, Producer and Director of the seven-part series.
Anna Cottrell will introduce the series.

Working Bees 🐝
We hold monthly working bees on the third Sunday of each month and are always looking for new people to join us. We are a fun crew doing some great work in the cemetery and learning about its history as we go.
If you can spare a few hours on a Sunday afternoon, then we would love to hear from you! There's no commitment to come every time and we find tasks suited to interests and abilities - from cleaning headstones, to clearing weeds and sweeping graves.
So if you would like to find out more, or be added to our Working Bee email list (where we advise dates, times and meeting places) then please email us: secretary@friendsofkaroricemetery.co.nz
