In 1989 members of the Tauranga RSA planted 120 native trees alongside Keith Allen Memorial Drive. On 12 January 1989 the Mayor of Tauranga Noel Pope unveiled the accompanying plaque: “These trees were planted / in memory of / all those from / Western Bay of Plenty / who gave their lives / in all conflicts / since 1900.”
