Hi Pam, I asked Ron Lambert who is the expert on Taranaki memorials about this. He sent me a newspaper report from the Taranaki Herald 16 Sept 1924 that confirms that F Messenger was the architect and the contractors were J.G.M. Russell, J. McCracken and A. Hanley of New Plymouth. The sculptured wreaths were the work of W.F. Short. There is no mention of Mouland in this report, however. Hope this helps, Jamie Mackay
