The New Plymouth cenotaph which was unveiled on Tuesday, has been constructed of grey stone obtained at Mangorei, near the borough hydro works, a?id the finished work has given an imposing and dignified monument of which the community may feel proud and which will stand as a perpetual reminder of the great sacrifices which the war demanded and which were readily made by tlie men who went to the front. It is on a base 14ft by Bft. and reaches to a total height of 33ft. It is surrounded at the base by a flight of steps the extreme- measurements of which cover an area 26ft. by 20ft. On the northern nnd southern faces there are large Orusader’s crosses, while on either side there is a sculptured laurel wreath and the simple inscription: “1914-1918, Name Livetb for Evermore.” r
