- Description
The remarkable Moutoa monument, New Zealand's first war memorial, was unveiled in Moutoa Gardens, Whanganui, in September 1865, 16 months after the battle that it commemorated. The conflict itself had occurred on an island in the middle of the Whanganui River, 80 kilometres north of the city. Lower Whanganui Māori defeated Pai Mārire forces from up river who were intent on attacking Whanganui town.
