The WW100 website website describes The Battle of Le Quesnoy, in northern France on 4 November 1918, as one of New Zealand’s most important victories, but also the last. A few days after the liberation of the town, the Armistice ending the First World War was signed in Compiegne, France. The liberation of Le Quesnoy is still anchored in the memory of New Zealanders and the people of the town. To mark the centenary of this major event, Turnbull research librarian Gillian Headifen explores the collections to identify material relating to the Battle and the people involved. Gillian Headifen is the Research Librarian Oral History in the Alexander Turnbull Library’s Research Enquiries team, and has worked in the Library for 17 years. She has previously given in talks in the Family History series on the Battle of Messines, the sinking of the Marquette, and the use of oral history for family history research.

We have bought some ex shop shelves in Cuba st which we need de-mounting from the wall in the shop, transporting and re-mounting and fixing to the wall in Brooklyn. The frame is 2.6m by about 2m tall and is solid. The shelves come out and sit on dowels. So a truck or trailer will be needed.

It is a small area with now four new bus stops plus an access road, now closed to traffic except buses. Driving, parking and turning in the shopping area is almost impossible. Brooklyn was such a great little destination for locals. It is sad to see it now so disrupted and difficult to access.
