Weekend of 16-18 October 2015 - the footing for the memorial wall dug out ......
3rd December - concrete poured for memorial wall base. It needs several weeks to 'cure' before it can take the weight of the wall.
26th January 2016 - John Austin Ltd brought their big machines and levelled off the ground.
As soon as the weather is right, the grass seed will be going down.

"Gracious God, today we are remembering those who served overseas in the various wars, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice of lives. We remember those who are buried here that made another form of sacrifice, a sacrifice that expressed itself in their mental suffering which resulted in their being brough to Tokanui and their dying here. We thank you for their service and ther sacrifice they made and for all those who cared for them. We also thank you for all those who made this memorial possible. We ask this is Jesus name. Amen."
