Geocache Description:

A lovely spot to hang about by the Malone Gates in Stratford

Cache is in a cylindrical container that screws together. There is room for small swaps or Geocoins.
Lieutenant Colonel William George Malone (24 January 1859 - 8 August 1915) was a World War I New Zealand soldier.
When World War I broke out, he was in command of the Wellington Battalion of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force and deployed as part of the ANZAC forces.
He saw action during the Battle of Gallipoli and was killed during the battle for Chunuk Bair on 8 August 1915. His body was never identified, and remains buried on the hillside.
In 1923 the soldiers of the Wellington Regiment paid for the construction of the Malone Memorial Gate, placed at the entrance to King Edward Park in Stratford.
The gates are New Zealand's largest war memorial commemorating an individual soldier.
This cache can be combined with a lovely 10-15 minute bush walk to grab another nearby cache GC1QRZE. FTF ***Punga & Paua***
