How to commemorate the land wars? SIMON O'CONNOR/STUFF Rex Ward, 75, wants a memorial to the land wars erected in New Plymouth. It's about the New Zealand land wars, something Ward, 75, admits he knew nothing about. Last year, the Finance Minister, now Prime Minister, Bill English suggested October 28 as a date for commemorating the land wars, Ward said. Ward had been up to Marsland Hill to look at the monument up there, a memorial to the lives lost in the Taranaki land wars, he said.
