Te Anau School ANZAC display

All schools in New Zealand have some crosses that represent soldiers that died during Gallipoli.
The ones we have outside our school are all soldiers from Southland area.  They have their rank, tag number and name on them.

Here we are standing in rows like the soldiers use to next to the display.

In our office we also have an ANZAC display.  
This is Mrs Ball showing us a picture of her Great Aunt (Effie Carter) who was in the war as a nurse.  Her Grandma was also there.  She is wearing part of her uniform which was made of wool and very itchy.

 This is Sandy Scott showing us a mortar shell case.  This was hand-engraved by an Italian POW.
 Here is our school's display with Mrs Ball showing us a photo of her Granddad.
Mrs Chartres is showing us some medals and dog tags that her Grandfather got during World War 2.
