The work was created by New Zealand Defence Force artist Captain Matt Gauldie to celebrate the life and heroism of Sapper Horace Moore-Jones and to commemorate the centennial of the WW1 Gallipoli battle. It is a touching rendition of a hero.

This large monument has recently been restored for the 100th anniversary of WW1. It narrowly escaped being damaged by a bush fire after the restoration. It gives the names of the local people who gave their lives. Many had been born in Britain, but others were real New Zealanders, the Maoris who supported their country with pride and honour. And of course the view of Thames is great. Obituaries of the people on the memorial have been compiled recently. Unfortunately this research showed that some names had been left off the memorials.
