Cenotaph

New Plymouth District, New Zealand · built 1924

The New Plymouth Cenotaph is a war memorial located at the intersection of Queen and St Aubyn Streets in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Unnveiled on 17 September 1924, it was designed by architect Frank Messenger and constructed in local andesite, closely modelled on the Whitehall Cenotaph in London. The monument commemorates those who served in the First and Second World Wars and later twentieth century conflicts, its strong sculptural form reinforcing its role as a lasting symbol of remembrance.
