Memorial to New Zealander Leslie Andrew, VC, Warneton
Lance Corporal Andrew, who won his VC at La Bassee when he was 20 years old, went on to serve in WW2 and died, a Brigadier, in January 1969. His VC was one of those medals stolen from the New Zealand Waiouru Museum on 2 December 2007. Lord Ashcroft and ex-US Marine Tom Sturgess put up a reward of 300, 000 New Zealand dollars which led to their return in February 2008. The Memorial was unveiled in the presence of the NZ Ambassador to Belgium on 26 October 2008
