The services section of Te Kūiti Cemetery now has the appropriate recognition thanks to the support of Te Tira Ahu Ika A Whiro – Veterans’ Affairs New Zealand.
Veterans’ Affairs has been working with Council and VJ Williams and Sons to provide and install the sign as a permanent acknowledgement of our service men and women who are laid to rest at Te Kūiti Cemetery.
The sign was unveiled on ANZAC Day.
