New Zealand Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, National war memorial in Wellington City, New Zealand.
The Tomb of the Unknown Warrior features a headstone crafted from Otago schist with inscriptions in English and Māori languages.
In November 2004, remains of an unidentified New Zealand soldier from Caterpillar Valley Cemetery were transferred to this memorial during a ceremonial procession.
The memorial represents over 18,000 New Zealand service members who lost their lives during World War I, providing a place for national remembrance.
The memorial site opens daily and receives numerous visitors during Anzac Day celebrations and Remembrance Day commemorations throughout the year.
The tomb's orientation points directly toward France, establishing a physical connection with the European battlefields where many New Zealand soldiers rest.
