Browns Bay beach on Auckland's North Shore is where I grew up. I spent ALOT of time here at this beach as a child although I don't remember this war memorial being there back then.
Known as the "Stone of Remembrance" it was unveiled in Anzac Day 1968 with the stone being dedicated by Rev. M. Walsh on April 25th 1968.
Linking up with Tuesday Treasures and Happy Tuesdays.

For a simple war memorial it is a good idea to locate them with a view of the sea, giving an extra solemnity to them. This one is perfect.
Beautiful memorial, great pic
