The second instalment of white crosses at Tauranga's waterfront will include two young brothers killed in action a day apart while fighting in Gallipoli.
The crosses are progressively being installed in a Field of Remembrance between October 17 and November 8 - each cross representing the life of a local fallen soldier.
Today, nine crosses represent the lives of Arthur Offley Bell; Leslie Harvey Clark; George Wickham Crosley; George Alexander Douglas; Thomas Lewis Douglas; Andrew Charles Haua; Alfred William Kent; Sydney E Skellern and Thomas Wahia.
George and Thomas Douglas were brothers born three years apart to William and Annie Douglas. George was 27 when he was killed in action and Thomas was 25 when he was killed a day later, both at Gallipoli.
Both brothers had been members of the Tauranga Mounted Rifles. George was a drover while his brother was a builder and contractor.
The Field of Remembrance will be accompanied by the Homecomings: From Tauranga to the Trenches exhibition. After all the crosses are installed, they will be relocated to Memorial Park, the location for the city's official Armistice Day Centenary Service.
