The choir was leading a tribute to a group of Otago soldiers who fought in World War 1.
For many years in early October the choir have paid tribute to one of its founding members Peter Anderson, who was also a founder of the Anderson Lloyd law firm.
Mr Anderson was serving with the New Zealand Army in Belgium in World War 1.
At dawn on October 12, 1917, Mr Anderson led 36 soldiers from Otago, out of the Allied trenches and across barbed wire and mud-filled shell-holes against the German guns.
The attack was unsuccessful and, of the original 36, only six of the soldiers returned with Mr Anderson to the safety of the Allied lines.
Mr Anderson was wounded but made it back to New Zealand.
On his return, he continued in legal practice and, in due course, bequeathed his name to the law firm.
Yesterday, Mr Anderson was again remembered with the RSA Choir performing inside the train station along with a tribute by the law firm. There were 30 roses laid — one for every soldier lost — beside a plaque commemorating the dead of Passchendaele in the station’s foyer.
