New Zealand Memorial

The New Zealand Memorial is an obelisk in Greenwich that commemorates 21 British officers and men of the Royal Navy who died in the New Zealand War of 1863–64.

The memorial is located near the River Thames, east of the Cutty Sark, close to the Royal Naval College, Greenwich.

It stands on a square plinth that rests on three wide steps.

The plinth is decorated with mouldings resembling chains and ropes, and bears inscriptions on each side.

The memorial was designed by Frederick Sang, who was commissioned by a memorial fund headed by Rear Admiral Sir William Wiseman, 8th Baronet, former commodore of the Australia Station.
