Wreaths were laid and the cornet played as the Otago Officers’ Club commemorated its centenary in Dunedin on Saturday.
Club president Lieutenant-colonel Roger McElwain said it was a "significant milestone" for the club.
The wreath-laying ceremony held at the Cenotaph was to remember those who had served and those that had passed, he said.
Members of the club were bound by comradeship, and a sense of service and duty.
"One hundred years on, it still continues to flourish."
As well as the wreath-laying ceremony, the club was also commemorating the milestone with events including a formal dinner, a service at St Paul’s Cathedral and a history tour of the city.
"Dunedin has a very rich military history and that’s one of the things I think we don’t acknowledge enough."
"Dunedin used to be a retirement city for military officers. It’s less so now.
"The fact that we’re still here is, I think, a very positive sign.
"The fact that we’ve got a reasonable turnout like this is also a very positive sign."
