World War Two veteran Robert McCombe has been chosen to represent New Zealanders at the dedication of a new statue at Sydney's Anzac Bridge.

Mr McCombe, a life time member of the RSA, will be accompanied by the Prime Minister when the bronze statue of a World War One soldier is dedicated next Tuesday.

"It is an extreme honour, as far as I'm concerned, to be chosen to represent the Second World War people at a function such as that," Mr McCombe said.
