A plaque in honour of WWII nurse Eliza Daisy Cargo has been rediscovered during some earthworks at North Shore Hospital.
Eliza was the first matron at the North Shore Obstetric Hospital. The block she worked in was demolished last year to make way for a new hospital building due to open in 2023.
A plaque commemorating her life was put in the adjoining grounds around 60 years ago, but had been hidden by vegetation over the decades, the Waitematā DHB said in a statement.
North Shore Hospital has now relocated the plaque, and held a small unveiling ceremony on Friday, attended by two of Eliza's former colleagues and a family member.
Born in 1909, Eliza is believed to have spent the first few years of her life in Manurewa. She finished finished her nursing training at Auckland Hospital around 1937 and served with the New Zealand Army Service in Italy, Egypt and New Caledonia during WWII, and later with J Force in Japan.
After completing her military service, Eliza led the Devonport Obstetric Hospital for about seven years, and also worked at a hospital in Pukekohe.
Between 1958 and 1964, Eliza oversaw the training of many student nurses as matron at North Shore Obstetric Hospital.
One of those nurses was Brenda Vujcich, who said of Eliza: "She influenced us greatly in our early training and was a very efficient and gracious sister who we all admired".
Eliza married Harold James Thompson later in her life and lived in Howick until her death in 1976.
Waitematā DHB director of midwifery Emma Farmer said it seemed fitting to unveil the plaque in time for Anzac Day.
“Eliza played a prominent role in the history of North Shore Hospital. We are also very conscious of her years in the New Zealand Army Nursing Service where she and her colleagues frequently risked their lives to help others during WWII."

Has only been out of the box and used for the last 4 weeks (I only needed this for a short time while my dryer was set up in a temporary space). I’ve thoroughly cleaned what little dust had accumulated – you won’t even notice the kit had been unpacked. All original parts and accessories are included and are in perfect working condition. Very easy to install in different configurations.
This complete DIY kit externally vents your dryer for maximum efficiency & comfort. Will fit most dryers with rear exhaust & will eliminate hot, moist, lint laden air from your laundry, thus reducing the need for a de-humidifier. Helps to prevent mildew on walls & ceilings. Specially designed flat profile of rear vent diverter allows for use on wall mounted dryers. Permanent through the wall exhaust system means no need to leave doors or windows open.
Decreases drying time & provides cleaner, healthier air in your laundry as moist air is not recirculated. The aluminium duct comes in a flexible 100mm diameter, 2.4m length.

Painted glass bottles make a stylish display on their own or with the addition of dried foliage. The paint is on the inside so they still have that lovely glass sheen. Use Resene testpots to co-ordinate with your home's colour palette.

"Denis Bourke Paintings" covers areas of interest that have been at work concurrently over several decades in Denis Bourke’s long-standing practice. Bourke has travelled widely across Aotearoa New Zealand, and is a longtime illustrator and recorder of land features.
Bobbie Gray's "Insignificant Other" brings everyday life into art through magnifying borer ‘galleries’ found in the native timber floors of the artist’s home. The works read as abstract paintings, yet the mark making delves beneath the surface, revealing physical depth. The lines left are evidence of life lived, in parallel with our own.

This is one of our most popular projects as the students must design a three-course menu, cost it in a spreadsheet to meet a specific budget, create a menu card and timeplan to help them execute the tasks. They must serve the menu to a guest who arrives at 12.30. Everything is done on the day. The students also get to sit with their guest to savour and enjoy their creations.
Along with our cookery students, the Food & Beverage, Level 4 students showcased excellent wine and food service to the guests.
Some of the dishes prepared were -
- Pan seared fish with salsa and mesclun salad
- Fettuccine Al Burro with handmade pasta
- Semolina cake soaked in orange blossom syrup, rosewater sorbet, pistachio crumb & candied orange peel
