Lorin's research
Warner Knight went to war in 1918. He was sent to Egypt and arrived a few weeks after the war ended, so he never saw combat. After the war he returned to his wife on their farm.
Aaron's research
Norman Astridge was sent to Egypt as a trooper. He was stationed in the Canal Zone. On the twelfth day there Norman was killed by a bomb explosion.
Joe's research
We found out that Thomas Smith was a baker on Auckland's North Shore before the war, and served as a baker during his time in Europe too. While in Egypt, Thomas' job was driving. His right eye was not as strong as his left eye. He was a short guy. He served a total of 4 years and 94 days overseas. Thomas's name is on the Oddfellows Roll of Honour currently in the Devonport Museum.
Ivo's research
After reading through the medical report for Ivo Harrison we found out the he had brown eyes and blue hair! The doctor making the report must have made a mistake!!
Poor Ivo Harrison had measles before leaving for the war. He was sent to Gallipoli but was very weak and didn't eat much. He managed to stay there for six weeks before being taken away to hospital where he deteriorated. He was sent back to New Zealand by ship but died on the journey back home.
