Featherston Camp after the war
Part of the YMCA Soldiers’ Club at the Featherston Military Camp was later used as the Kaiwaiwai Hall, South Featherston. Another part was used for the Kahutara Hall.
When World War One ended on 11 November 1918, the camp was in the middle of the influenza epidemic. Training stopped at once and the Wairarapa camps began to empty. The army took some time to decide its future. Some buildings were removed quickly but the dismantling of Featherston Camp went on for over 10 years.
