Dannevirke Community Board is to donate $1000 to the Wimbledon community so a new plaque can be added to the district's World War II memorial.
A request for funding, made by Wimbledon resident Brian Hales, was discussed at the last board meeting.
In his letter to the board Hales said the memorial already contained two bronze plaques, one in memory of those from the district who lost their lives in the war and the second one a tribute to those who served their country.
The new plaque will acknowledge the men who served and, following the end of the war, returned to the then-Wimbledon District and made their homes there.
They are Mick Buchanan, Ray Ross, Trevor Rowlands, Graeme Speedy, Alan M Speedy and Phil Speedy.
