WWI SOLDIERS WHO VOLUNTEERED FOR ACTION OVERSEAS AND LATER RETURNED SAFELY.

The Thames Memorial also has plaques that record the names of soldiers who joined up from Thames and surrounding districts.
Thames Star 27 April 1954, page 4:

Few people in Thames today know that the memorial on the hill at the northern end of the town is not a memorial to the dead but a memorial to all those who joined up from Thames and surrounding district to fight World War I.
Last year the Thames Returned Services' Association canvassed widely thoughout the country to ascertain whether all the names of the men who volunteered were on the plaques which surround the base of the memorial.
A few more names were sent in from various quarters, including towns in the South Island. The R.S.A. is now certain that it has every name on the memorial.
