This memorial oak avenue at Gladstone, in Wairarapa, commemorates soldiers from the district who lost their lives in both world wars. Thirty-six scarlet oaks were planted along this road. Similar plantings of memorial avenues – most often using oaks – are also prominent in North Otago and South Canterbury.
