Featherston Memorial RSA

On this day, 7 June, in 1917, the Battle of Messines commenced.

Although it came with great loss, it was one of the most successful battles of WW1 .

Many NZ troops fought and lost their lives, but it was the start of a great bond between Messines and New Zealand. A bond that has grown over the years, and one that is typified by Featherston's own unique bond with Messines.

At 10.00 am today Featherston Memorial RSA / The Last Post Restaurant & Bar will be holding a service to commemorate the battle, and the unique bond we have.

Please do come and join us at the RSA, non-members are most welcome, and a light morning tea will be served afterwards.

Lest We Forget.

Featherston Memorial RSA / The Last Post Restaurant & Bar: 10 am tomorrow, Sunday 7 June, is our annual Battle of Messines commemoration service.

Please do come and join us, non-members are most welcome too.

Service will be followed by light refreshments.

I'm sure everyone will want to join us in congratulating Featherston Memorial RSA member and friend, Lorraine Taylor-Tams on being appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.

This is a tremendous and very deserved honour for 40 years continuous commitment to education.

Many, many, congratulations Lorraine - we are all extremely proud of you!!!
