Commemorative artefacts that represent the sacrifice and contributions to peace made by the military engineers (sappers) of the Royal New Zealand Engineers (RNZE), the congregation of St David's Memorial Church, and other New Zealand Expeditionary Forces.
The foundation stone of St David’s Memorial Church was laid on Anzac Day in 1927, in memoriam to those who lost their lives in World War I. it is a memorial of national significance and predates the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
The Soldiers’ Memorial Church, as it was referred to, commemorates those who gave their lives in all wars. The Sappers’ (Royal New Zealand Engineers’) Memorial Chapel forms part of St David’s. It later became known as St David's Presbyterian.
Further history of the building and its special relationship with both the sappers and New Zealand Army in general are presented here.
