This is the memorial arch to Lieutenant-Colonel William George Malone at Stratford, Taranaki. Malone, a Stratford farmer and lawyer, was the commander of the Wellington Infantry Battalion at Gallipoli. He died on the slopes of Chunuk Bair on 8 August 1915.

The lone pine tree near the Malone Memorial Gates grew from a seedling brought back from Gallipoli.
