The rural locality of Manawahe in the inland Bay of Plenty was sparsely settled at the time of the First World War and does not have a First World War roll of honour. However, the Manawahe School’s Second World War roll of honour is displayed in the local hall (opened in 1925). The hand-lettered tablet lists the names of three ex-pupils who were killed on active service during the war and 34 who returned from service.
