In the Armistice Centenary Field of Remembrance there will be a special field honouring the families who suffered multiple losses. The field of 1,461 crosses will be situated near the Gallipoli Pine in front of the Auckland War Memorial Museum. It will be divided into 3 sections the first for the 637 families who lost two sons; the second for the 51 families who lost three members and the third for the nine sets of four brothers.
The stories of these families anguish can only be imagined as a 1917 newspaper noted -
