WHAKARURUHAU | SHELTER
THE BRITISH MEMORIAL REFLECTS THE CLOSE BONDS BETWEEN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND NEW ZEALAND. IT COMMEMORATES THE SACRIFICE OF THOSE MEN AND WOMEN FROM OUR COUNTRIES WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND SERVED ALONGSIDE ONE ANOTHER IN CONFLICTS AROUND THE WORLD SINCE THE START OF THE 20TH CENTURY. THE OAK AND PŌHUTUKAWA TREES INTERTWINE AS THEY GET TALLER, FORMING A SINGLE LEAFY CANOPY OR WHAKARURUHAU. WITHIN THE BRANCHES THE NEGATIVE SILHOUETTE OF A SOLDIER CAN BE SEEN, REPRESENTING ALL WHO HAVE SERVED AND CONTINUE TO SERVE SO THAT WE, WHO FOLLOW, MIGHT LIVE IN FREEDOM. THE SACRED GROUNDS OF PUKEAHU ARE A FITTING PLACE TO HONOUR THE SACRIFICE THAT HAS GONE BEFORE, STRENGTHEN NOW THE FRIENDSHIP OF OUR PEOPLES AND RENEW OUR PLEDGE TO DEFEND IN THE FUTURE OUR SHARED VALUES.
