The National War Memorial is across town. I think it's great that this is here, right next to the Beehive and other Parliament buildings so that the politicians who are coming to work here at Government Center have a reminder that there is a price to be paid for sending citizens off to war. The memorial was financed by donations from the citizens of Wellington and unveiled in 1931. At the time, it commemorated those who died fighting in the Great War, but was rededicated in 1952 to include those who died in World War II.

The Cenotaph was first used officially on Anzac Day, 25 April 1931. On top of the structure is a bronze figure on horseback, and at the base of are the two bronze lions.

Nice and well-kept war memorial beside Parliament. A quiet place to stop and think, with carvings and statues to look at. On ANZAC Day many people come here for the dawn service, which is very special. Easy walk from Lambton Quay or the train station, and close to the Beehive. Worth a visit if you are nearby.
