Pukekohe First World War memorial park

Pukekohe First World War memorial park

Memorial in Roulston Park, Pukekohe.

The inscription on the southwestern side reads: 'Let all who visit this park remember the glorious dead' and on the northwestern: 'This park/ was given by/ W. Roultson Esq./ to the /inhabitants/ of Pukekohe/ 6th October/ 1921.'

The memorial thus commemorates the gift of Roulston Park as a site for the First World War memorial. The deeds were formally handed over on 6 November 1921 when the First World War memorial was unveiled.
