Kāhui St David's is a music and community centre in Khyber Pass Road, Auckland, New Zealand.
[1][2] In 1920 planning for a new church began and a decision made that it would be a memorial to soldiers who had fought and died in World War I.
[3][4] Local architect Daniel Boys Patterson designed the church in the Gothic revival style.
[1][4] The foundation stone inscription read “To the Glory of God and in proud memory of the St. David’s men who, for the permanent peace of the world, gave their lives in the Great War, 1914-18, this stone was laid by Duncan Macpherson, senior elder, Rev.
D. C. Herron, M.C., M.A., minister.”[1] The church with its square Gothic tower was built of red Kamo brick and Oamaru stone.
[3][6][9] The first two memorials were unveiled in the church in 1920 to honour St David's parishioners who had served in World War I: a wooden roll of honour for men and nurses who had served and a marble memorial tablet inscribed with the names of those who had died.
[3] Two notable soldiers had links to St David's: Cyril Bassett who was married in the church in 1926 and Samuel Forsyth.
