The National War Memorial in Wellington, New Zealand, is a significant landmark dedicated to honoring the country's military history and the sacrifices made by its servicemen and women. It comprises several key elements: the Carillon, the Hall of Memories, and the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. The Carillon, a prominent feature, is a bell tower that houses 74 bells and was inaugurated in 1932. The Hall of Memories, completed in 1964, is a solemn space that contains memorial plaques and serves as a place for reflection. The Tomb of the Unknown Warrior was added in 2004 and symbolizes all New Zealand soldiers who have died in conflict.
