NL tekst :
Na de onthulling van een Australisch silhouet gedenkteken bij het Polygone Bos, werd een Nieuw Zeelandse silhouet onthuld op 's Graventafel bij de Oude Kaasmakerij. De plechtigheid werd bijgewoond door de Nieuw Zeelandse Ambassadeur, Mrs. Diana Reaich en de NZ-se Militaire Attaché Col. Rian McKinstry en ander NZ militairen. Col. McKinstry leidde de ceremonie. Zijn grootvaders kozijn was één van de vle mannen die in deze omgeving sneuvelden in oktober 1917. Het nieuwe silhouet-gedenteken, uitziend op Bellevue Spur, staat in de sector waar de Nieuw Zeelandse Divisie bittere gevechten streed in oktober 1917 dichtbij waar de Nieuw Zeelandse Gedenkzuil staat op 's Graventafel. De Nieuw Zeelandse Divisie was hier bijzonder berokken in de gevechten op 4 en 9 en op hun Zwartste dag 12 oktober 1917 yoen ze de grootste verliezen ooit leden. De Australische delegatie was ook aanwezig samen met Belgische militaire en lokale burgerlijke overheden.
