A relatively new monument in front of the Auckland War Memorial Museum and dedicated to those who gave their lives in wartime. "Lest we Forget" is inscribed on the surface and surrounded by a wreath of fern leaves.
The following is from a Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ode_of_Remembrance):
Inscribed also is the fourth stanza of the poem "For the Fallen", commonly known as the "Ode of Remembrance":
They shall not grow old, as we who that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
