John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 26 October 1923:
LOCAL AND GENERAL
…
When Mr. James #Fletcher, of #Dunedin, was recently in the Old Country he spent some time at his native place, #Kirkintilloch, where the question of a war memorial was being discussed, and he offered on behalf of himself and his brothers to make a donation of the necessary quantity of New Zealand marble, up to 80 tons. The scheme … is now so far advanced that the offer has been accepted, and Fletcher Bros. are instructed by cable to prepare the marble for erection and ship it. The marble is grey, with dark veins. It comes from the donors’ quarry at Takaka (Nelson), and is being fashioned in Auckland so as to be ready for the contractor. The memorial is to be a gateway to the public park.

NELSON COLLEGE WAR MEMORIAL
The attention of the Old Boys of #Nelson College is directed to an advertisement in another column in connection with the opening of the #Scriptorium, which has been erected by the Old Boys’ Association as a memorial to the old boys of the college who fell in the late war. His Excellency the Governor-General will perform the opening ceremony and unveil the memorial tablet. The principal of the college desires to know as soon as possible the number of old boys likely to be attending the ceremony, and those intending to be present are requested to notify the honorary secretary of the Wellington branch of the Old Boys’ Association on or before Friday next.
