This monument was unveiled in 1914, 50 years after the death of Māori leader Rāwiri Puhirake, and recalls the kindness shown by Rāwiri to wounded British soldiers and to the bodies of the dead. The concluding paragraph on the monument reads thus: 'The seeds of better feeling between the two races thus sown on the battlefield have since borne ample fruit: disaffection has given place to loyalty, and hostility to friendship, British and Maori now living together as one united people'.
