Commemorative Events Since the creation of the Dunedin Society a number of events have taken place to commemorate the men of HMS Dunedin, beginning with the first ever - and extraordinary - Reunion, held in Henley-on-Thames in April 2001. November - for obvious reasons - will remain the most significant month and we shall continue to see gatherings of people to whom HMS Dunedin holds a special meaning. HMS Dunedin's new (and permanent) memorial at the National Arboretum gives us all a lasting focal point.
