Altre informazioni

The obelisk is similar in style to other New Zealand memorials including the one at ‘s Graventafel. It takes the form of a column on a raised stepped base. At the base of each side there is a panel. The memorial is dedicated: In honour of the men of the New Zealand Division. The battle of Messines 7th to 14th of June 1917 Underneath this is a design of a Maori carving surrounding the words New Zealand and a fern-leaf. Beneath that is the phrase From the uttermost ends of the earth. The sides explain (in English, Flemish and French) the story of the day. The New Zealand division on the 7th of June captured this ridge and advanced 2000 yards through Messines to their objective on the eastern side. The memorial was unveiled on 1st August 1924 in the presence of King Albert I and Sir Alexander Russell, former commander of the New Zealand Division.
