A new memorial dedicated to Kiwi soldiers has been unveiled at a former military camp in Britain.

Hundreds of men from the New Zealand Rifle Brigade trained at Cannock Chase in Staffordshire during the first world war.

Sir Jerry Matapare, New Zealand’s High Commissioner to the UK, says Nga Tapuwae keeps the memory of the soldiers alive.

The memorial was commissioned by the New Zealand Government, and now joins others in Turkey, Belgium and France.
