DescriptionThis plaque listed 41 names; the June 29, 2016 'Leader reported that the RSA's Wayne Myers had been working for 18 months on updating it, and that a new plaque listing 49 names would be unveiled in August, listing people who were known Upper Hutt residents, or had enlisted in Upper Hutt. Three names were in a 'grey area'. The new list was not necessarily final.
There would also be individual crosses, in rows set in concrete in the 'Field of Rmembrance' near the 'Grand-dad' statue. the sample pictured gave number, rank, initials, surname, details such as echelon/2nd NZEF, and dates.
The July 20 'Leader' reported a challenge to he new list from Lynley Yates, a former Defence Force archives officer; four WWI soldiers' names had been deleted, because they had not been residents when they enlisted; she argued that they were recorded on the Upper Hutt district plaque, the RSA plaque at the Cossie Club, and the Upper Hutt School memorial board.
The updated memorial was unveiled on August 25, 2016.Date Taken14th January 2015
