Hello -- a couple of things ...
1: The "Related media" link to Ngatimoti War Memorial from the Takaka War Memorial doesn't seem quite right -- a long way apart geographically.
2: The Takaka War Memorial shown in the photograph has (in April 2008) been superseded as the official memorial by a memorial wall outside the new Takaka Library. I will send you a photo of the new memorial separately. However, the memorial panels etc shown in this photo will remain in the foyer of the building (which is the Takaka Service Centre of Tasman District Council)
Regards
Penny Griffith, Collingwood
Cheers
Penny Griffith
