Angus McPherson In 1919 locals planted 400 oak trees in North Otago, one for every serviceman from the district killed during the war. They were planted in the form of a wheel, the hub being in central Oamaru, and radiating out both north and south into the countryside (where they were planted at one-mile intervals). Where possible, the oaks were planted near the home of the serviceman they commemorated. |
