World War I remembered
The Kawakawa RSA marked the 100th anniversary of World War I by planting 57 crosses — one for each soldier from the Kawakawa District who served in what was then known as the Great War — in a Lawn of Remembrance outside the Albert St clubrooms. Among those attending Saturday’s ceremony were two World War II veterans and four people whose fathers had fought in World War I. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
