Online Cenotaph

Yesterday we researched a fallen soldier from World War One who is listed on the Romahapa Roll of Honour.
Lance Corporal Edgar James Burn was a school teacher.  He was the son of Edgar Huie Burn and Fanny Louisa Burn, of the School House, Romahapa, Otago, New Zealand. Edgar himself was a school teacher before setting off to war.
Edgar died of wounds on the 5th of October 1917 in Belgium. As a class we laid a poppy for Lance Corporal Edgar James Burn on the Auckland War Memorial Online Cenotaph.

The link above will take you to the online cenotaph where you can search for a relative or known local soldier and lay a poppy in remembrance.
