Memorial at the old gold mining township of Livingstone, above the Maerewhenua River.
The memorial looks like it would once have been in the school grounds. The old school building is there but all the land is now privately owned, including the plot the memorial is on.
The memorial includes the name of Alexander Kennedy, who was awarded the Russian Medal of St George, 3rd class - not 'Order of St George' as written on the plaque. (The plaque also suggests that Kennedy was awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal, but we have found no evidence to support this.)
The memorial was refurbished in 2021 in a joint project by the landowners, the NZ Remembrance Army and the Waitaki District Council.
A memorial oak and wooden cross dedicated to Trooper Herbert William Lory is nearby.
