Palmerston North will be the first city in New Zealand to complete its Poppy Places installations with the unveiling of signs for two sites on Armistice Day, November 11.
The new installations will bring the total Palmerston North sites with Poppy Places recognition to 30.
Poppy Places is a national street recognition project that commemorates those who have served overseas in the armed services.
Over the past four years, Palmerston North street and place signs with military connections have been embellished with a poppy symbol.
The Palmerston North Defence History Advisory Group has been the motivating body behind Poppy Places, with local businessman Stephen Parsons also playing an instrumental role.
