NEW ZEALAND WAR MEMORIALS AND ROLLS OF HONOUR
HUTT VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL, LOWER HUTT, WELLINGTON
1939 - 1945

A few years ago the Hutt Valley High School Archive Department (thanks to Judith Gardiner) sent me a photo of their World War Two Roll of Honour. Since then, research on the names has been completed and seven more past pupils have been added to a new board which was dedicated on Monday 29 April 2019 at the schools annual ANZAC ceremony.
