A ceremony to commemorate the efforts of Māori servicemen and women took place at Pākaitore on Sunday, with a large group of descendants of troops lost at war paying their respects. The service, held every Anzac Day at the memorial site in Pākaitore, is one of the oldest Māori services in the country, just as Whanganui s dawn service is also one of the longest-running.
