The Onerahi Community Association will once again host an ANZAC Day service on 25 April this year at the Onerahi Community Hall, beginning at 11:00am. We warmly invite members of the Onerahi community and their whānau to attend this brief remembrance service.
There are two memorial plaques honouring local soldiers who did not return from the wars—one located at Onerahi Primary School, and the other at Oak Grove along Church Street, behind the airport. Their names are inscribed on these memorials.
The Oak Grove memorial is a granite slab bearing the following ten names: B.B. McKenzie, C.F. Dickson, H.A. Dickson, H.A. Going, H.J. Edwards, J. Lupton, C.M. Windram, P.W. Pullman, W.T. Spratt, and C. Heard.
St Stephen’s Anglican Church, directly across the road from the memorial grove, also displays a roll of honour inscribed with the same ten names.
Lest we forget.
