In October 1917, in the farmlands of Flanders, Belgium, New Zealand suffered one of its greatest tragedies.

The Battle of Passchendaele marked the greatest loss of life for New Zealand in any military engagement.

On this 109th anniversary, join us for a commemorative ceremony held in partnership with The Passchendaele Society. Personal floral tributes or a poppy may be laid during the service
