| Ohawe Military Cemetery |

| In 1907 a local farmer erected a stone in one corner of his property to commemorate those that had fallen in the Battle of Otapawa, 13 January 1866. A second memorial tablet was added in 1925. The land was donated to the Crown and the remains of the British soldiers that had been buried close by were re-interred there. Finally in 1945, after the cliff top military graveyard at Manawapou was found to be eroding into the sea, the last group of remains was transferred to Ohawe Military Cemetery. Access to the cemetery is from Ohawe Terrace, Ohawe. |
