Apart
from the monument on the burial site at Langverwacht, there are several places
in New Zealand where their men are remembered. Farrier Leonard Retter was from
Johnsonville, now a suburb of Wellington in the North Island where his father
was the blacksmith. Two of his other sons served in New Zealand contingents in
the Anglo Boer war. A monument now stands in Moorefield Road in Johnsonville
and a short distance away are memorial gates at the entrance to a public park.
