Is there anyone in Gisborne that could photograph a wall of the RSA?

There is a marble plaque on the Childers Road wall commemorating the Gisborne men who fought in the South African (Boer) War. Will attach an article about the history and have got a blurry photo of the whole plaque. I think I can see the names of the two family members. Sergeant W TAYLOR, top right, and Trooper F PARKER, middle bottom. So if any one is able to take a clear photgraph it would be much appreciated.

ps Have emailed the RSA to see if they could help, but haven't heard back from them.

Maybe telephone would be more effective?

Sandblown,
Thank you very much for the link, that is exactly what I wanted.   
It looks like the middle slab was cracked in one of the many moves they have undergone. 
Will look up the "Sources" for the article later. These men both died before 1957 so won't be at the "Gathering" in 1957.
Cheers, thanks again and the compliments of the season to you and yours,

Sandblown,
Have checked the "Sources" and other articles and letters in the papers of the time and it appears that the Memorial was not very welcome or popular so having only what looks like a crack on one panel is nothing to what it could have been.
Cheers

You're very welcome. I'm pleased that the Memorial Link, has helped with Your research, and it had survived all the trials and tribulations of being re-sited to its present home.
