Wellington's
cenotaph is just outside Parliament's grounds on Lambton Quay and
is an impressive monument to the country's war dead of World War
I and World War II.
It
was unveiled on Anzac Day (April 25) 1931 and features at its summit
a bronze figure on horseback.
Following
WWII two bronze lions and a series of bronze friezes were added.
After
a lot of hunting - and the help of the Wellington council records
office - we can tell you
the Wellington cenotaph is 19.5m high.
