In memory of the crew of the Short Stirling bomber that was shot down here on 12 June 1943 with eight crew members. Also note the military symbol which says "New Zealand Squadron" (part of the RAF) with the words Ake Ake Kia Kaha underneath. Aké! Aké! Kia Kaha E! was the marching song of the 28th (Māori) Battalion of the New Zealand Army.
