To boot a football around near the cenotaph on the Esplanade is disrespectful but to use the flagpoles as goalposts is beyond the pale.
Equally outrageous is the continued failure to correct the glaring errors in the granite memorial wing.. It is not UNITED NATION (singular) PEACEKEEPING – should be UNITED NATIONS ; it is not NETHERLAND’S EAST INDIES - should be NETHERLANDS (meaning the East Indies part of the Low countries , regarded as a singular entity despite being hemispheres apart ) .
The accepted modern spelling for the Philippines is not that on the memorial . The fading white highlighting on some of the names on the rolls of honour on the original WW1 cenotaph also need attention.
