Fundraising for the South Canterbury Field of Remembrance
As part of a national project being organised by the Fields of Remembrance Trust the Timaru WWOne Centenary Committee are producing 1,500 white crosses.
The crosses represent every man and woman from the region who died in the First World War.
The crosses will be on display in various sites throughout South Canterbury when they are completed and will be a major feature in Anzac Day commemorations in South Canterbury.
