  1. Another first for Whanganui

    In 1936, Whanganui was the first city in New Zealand to hold a dawn service,

    Now Whanganui is the first to opt for a later start.

    Whanganui Returned and Services Association (RSA) welfare trust president Robert Allen said the dawn service had been moved to a 7am start because veterans were getting older.

    “That 6am start meant people were having to get up at 4am and it was very cold – last year was bitterly cold,” Allen said.
