I do like taking photos of war memorials throughout New Zealand on our travels. This one is in Burwood, Christchurch and it says "In memory of the Burwood boys who fell in the great war of 1914 - 1918" and nearer the bottom also says "In memory of the Burwood boys who laid down their lives in World War II 1938 - 1945".
This memorial was unveiled by Colonel R. Young on 5th September 1921.
Yesterday was Mother's day so I had a chat to my mum who lives up in the upper north island. My oldest flicked me a text and the other 2 bought me a chocolate brownie. I do think it's just another day though, if you can't appreciate people throughout the year whats the point?
