The memory of the men of New Plymouth who gave their lives during the Great War of 1914-18 will be kept green by the Cenotaph which stands in a commanding position at the junction of Queen Street and St. Aubyn Street. It is a replica of the original Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, which, imposing in its simplicity, awakens reverent memories of noble men in the minds of the passing thousands. The New Plymouth memorial has been constructed of native Taranaki stone. The unveiling was performed this afternoon by the Governor-General, on the occasion of his farewell visit to New Plymouth, before his departure from New Zealand towards the end of November.
