It's Remembrance Day across the Commonwealth, marking the day World War One ended - at the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

And on the Sunday just passed - Remembrance Sunday - the restored grave of a Gallipoli veteran was unveiled in Trentham. 

With no family, the last resting place of Henry Walter - had fallen into disrepair. 

Private Walter had been kicked out of the army as "incorrigible" after struggling with the impact of battle and subsequently took his own life after returning to Upper Hutt.

The NZ Remembrance Army undertook the restoration, with support from the Upper Hutt RSA and local Hutt Valley volunteer group Graveyard Shift.
