East Tāmaki First World War memorial.   

On 23 April 1922 Sir Frederick Lang, MP for Manukau and Speaker of the House of Representatives, unveiled the East Tāmaki war memorial at the entrance to the East Tāmaki recreation ground on East Tmaki Road. The granite obelisk listed the names of 27 men from the district who had given their lives, including two who had died from the effects of the war after the war was over.
