Field of Remembrance at the going down of the sun at Salamanca Lawn at Wellington Botanic Gardens, April 2016

Image No. A7R2-Field of Remembrance

The last rays of the sun light up a large number of personalised white crosses to commemorate soldiers around the Wellington region who made the supreme sacrifice during World War One (1914 - 1918).

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
