"For Whom the Bells Toll" (was Memorial Bells enquiry)

[Richard Offen]

How can one get hold of a copy of this elusive book?

 

When I was in Wellington in 2005, a member of staff at the War Memorial had
one copy on display, but no stock and couldn't tell me where I could
purchase a copy.   Also, as far as I can see, the book doesn't feature at
all on the War Memorial web site.

 

Sadly, when we visited, Callum and I only caught the last five minutes of
the lunch time recital because the Tourist Information Centre told us the
wrong time .it seems you wonderful carillon is quite a well kept secret in
Wellington!

Re: war memorial bells with name inscriptions

 

A prime example is the 74-bell National War Memorial Carillon in Wellington,
New Zealand. Of the 49 original Gillett & Johnston bells from 1929, 46 have
inscription/dedications to specific individuals (i.e. war casualties) and/or
regiments invloved in WWI. Details included in "For Whom the Bells Toll" by
Chris Maclean [Heritage Group, Department of Internal Affairs, Wellington,
1998].
