Taipā monument and Second World War honour roll.
Erected principally to Kupe and Ngāti Kahu iwi ancestors, the Tapiā monument also includes a memorial commemorating 30 local servicemen who were killed in the Second World War. These men are not just from the Taipā/Mangonui District but from the wider Far North. Almost all served in the 28th Māori Battalion.
There are a few spelling irregularities:
- Epa Hansard not E.P.A. Hansard
- R. Henare is Tom Henare
- R. Heemi is also recorded in several other places as R. Hemi (christian name Rawiri)
- J. Harris is almost certainly either Christopher or Patrick Harris, both from Motukaraka, North Hokianga
