Hello Tinto.

Very interesting info and many thanks for providing this.

Regrettably, out of the five brothers who saw overseas service, the sixth was their brother; my grandfather, who, because of the proximity to Wars end, was discharged as - Leave in Leau of Discharge on September 1918, I have photographs of only three great uncles. None are in Army uniform. Two were taken after the War and one from a newspaper notice published in the Otago Witness reporting his funeral in Wellington in October 1915.

Great Uncle Charles served with the AMR, shipped out to Egypt with the 3rd Reinforcements, diagnosed there with a terminal kidney disease, shipped back to New Zealand in March, 1915, admitted to, Wellington Hospital where he later died. His grave is at Karori Cemetery, however, not among the Soldiers graves. Perhaps because of his early demise predating the possibly yet to be dedicated section for soldiers. But the headstone is of the black "marble" type usually associated with NZ wargraves.

All the best.
Bruce
