LYTTELTON WAR MEMORIAL
<.„?i ’ - 7u Th J„F ress ' °£ Tuesday reR/-„ S ,Ju e / 1 ‘ mcu . lties of the Lyttelton Borough Council in choosing a suitmem°rial. I draw to its ♦i Ai? n su BSestion originated by a t? Mr Donald Comer, then a i C M4 n t Cillor ’ as a memorial for the 1914-18 war. The proposal was to replace one of the leading navigation lights in the harbour with a memorial lighthouse, suitably treated architecturally. A memorial must be a memorial to the dead. In the majority of cases, from personal knowledge, the harbour was at some time their playground. It would be symbolic, useful, somewhat unique, sate from vandalism, and seen by all using the port. Lyttelton is not only a , oorough, but also a port, through which the servicemen of Canterbury of three wars have left their country. It seems not unreasonable that the Lyttelton Harbour Board might assist w’ith this suggestion.—Yours, etc., x LYTTELTONIAN. September 6, 1950,.
