at the New Zealand Memorial at 's Graventafel, Passchendaele, Belgium, a ceremony of remembrance was held today Oct. 12th. to commemorate the men from New Zealand who fell on New Zealand's Blackest Day, i.e. Oct. 12th 1917 in the attack at (the nearby) Bellevue Spur. The cost for them was very high: 843 New Zealanders were killed in just a few hours on the morning of the 12th of October 1917, many more wounded. LEST WE FORGET. The New Zealand Embassy was represented by Colonel Rian McKinstry. The mayor of Zonnebeke and the the Military Provincial Commander of West Flanders, amongst other were present too as were a number of people devoted to remembering the NZ fallen.
