• 12:12 PM. Spectrum: Waihi's Little WW1 Mysteries

  The little town of Waihi has two little WW1 mysteries, both involving honours boards. The Waihi Museum has just been gifted one board which used to hang in the town's Methodist church but hadn't been seen since the church closed in the early 1990's. Word is that it was found recently at a tip and has been restored by persons unknown. The museum's also trying to track down an honours board that used to hang in the town's King's Theatre. Apparently it listed former pupils from the Waihi District High School who enlisted to fight in the War to End All Wars. That's now nowhere to be found and nobody seems to know anything about it (RNZ)
