Lone Pine Planted
One of the symbols of the Gallipoli landings was a pine tree on the heights which survived the fierce conflict. On Anzac Day, in a plot in front of the War Memorial building in Gisborne, a "grandson" of the lone pine was planted, to mark the 50th anniversary of Gallipoli.
Mr R. F. Garobrill looks on as Mr R. O. Sweet works the shovel. Kneeling is Mr N. Tasker, who performed the planting ceremony.
