News
More than names on a memorial
Private Michael Ian Adamson was born
on June 1, 1895, in Sumner. He was one
of six children born to Reverend Henry
Adamson and Marianne Burke Adamson.
He was serving in the North Canterbury
and Westland Regiment Territorial Forces
when he enlisted with the New Zealand
Expeditionary Force on April 19, 1915.
On March 27, 1918, he was 22 when he was seriously
wounded with a gunshot wound to the head and on
March 30 at 12.25pm, he died of his wounds. He had
a bout of bad luck in his service and had spent more
time recovering from injuries and illness than he spent
in military action.
John Wetherall was born in Prebbleton, on
May 24, 1886. His family lived at 26 Bridle
Path Rd in Heathcote Valley and he was a
malster at the Canterbury Seed Company,
responsible for taking cereals and making
malt out of the grain to be used to
create beer. In the Battle of Ayun Kara in
Palestine, on November 14, 1917, he was
killed in action and buried in Palestine. His grave can be
found in the Ramleh War Cemetery.
Lieutenant Lestock Henry Reid was born
on November 7, 1885, and grew up in
Ardlui, Rakaia. Reid attended Heathcote
Valley District School before he went to
Christchurch Boys’ High School. He was
28 and worked as a marine engineer in
the Mediterranean when war broke out.
He was 30 when he died in action during
the Battle of the Somme on May 20, 1916. He is buried
in the Cite Bonjean Military Cemetery, Armentieres,
France.
Sergeant Keith Munro Weir attended
Heathcote Valley School and was a
clerk at the Canterbury Seed Company
in Christchurch. On August 23, 1915, he
enlisted. He was wounded in action on
April 23, 1918, and died the following day in
France when he was 21-years-old.
REMEMBERED:
The names of
the 17 soldiers
who died during
service in World
War 1, and who
are highlighted
in the Linwood
Library exhibition,
can be found on
the Heathcote
War Memorial.

SMALL CHANGE
MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE
Twice a year we clear the Community Fund collection boxes at
Christchurch Airport and share the money across the community.
Kiwi dollars, international currency, small change from your cup
of coffee, plus a top-up donation from us, all add up for local
charities and community projects.
Drug-ARM Therapeutic Art group is a weekly meeting of people
wanting to make or maintain changes in their drug and/or alcohol
use. Two DrugARM staff members (pictured) support clients to use
art as a way of abstaining from alcohol and drugs. Christchurch
Airport proudly supports Drug-ARM through the Community Fund.
