There was a large gathering at Christ Church, Kiama on Saturday last to witness the dedication of the new wall and Memorial Gates by the Archbishop of Sydney, the Most Rev. H. W. K. Mowll, D.D. The Dedication took the form of a service in the Church after which His Grace and the congregation moved to the grounds for the actual dedication. The address was given by Rev. H. W. K. Mowll who took as his text the 21st. chapter of Revelations. He said they had gathered for the dedication of the wall and gates which had been erected in memory of those who had laid down their lives, for their country. The panels were in memory of the citizens who had set a grand example in the past. At the conclusion of the service in the Church, the Archbishop proceeded to the wall and dedicated each panel to the Glory of God and in memory of the following:--Susan Grey; Robert Harry Stevenson; Herbert Harry Hart, Louie Isabella Hart and Violet Frances Love; Henry Charles Lyons; Arthur W. and Rachel L. Grey; P. C. Hughes; David E. and Isabella Weir; and J. W. A. Watkinson.
