Extra special Anzac lesson<br />
• By Heidi Slade<br />
PEEBLES MONTESSORI Sumner<br />
pre-school pupils have been learning about<br />
the significance of Anzac Day – but for<br />
4-year-old Jack it is extra special.<br />
Jack gets his middle name, Heath, from<br />
his great-grandad William Heath Wingham<br />
who fought in World War 2.<br />
He has always had a special interest in<br />
the war and his great grandad, Jack’s mum<br />
Claire Waghorn-Lees said. •Turn to page 7<br />

Teenagers<br />
lucky to<br />

another<br />
crash on<br />
Evans Pass<br />
• By Heidi Slade<br />
ANOTHER CAR has crashed<br />
and flipped on Evans Pass Rd –<br />
and again the occupants had a<br />
lucky escape.<br />
A hatchback failed to take<br />
the hairpin bend at the top of<br />
the road as it starts to descend<br />
towards Sumner.<br />
The crash happened at 1.15am<br />
on Saturday. There were five<br />
teenagers in the car, all of whom<br />
escaped with minor injuries.<br />
On Sunday, <strong>April</strong> 16, a Honda<br />
crashed about 1am and flipped<br />
further down the road.<br />
One of the car’s front wheels<br />
had snapped off and it was<br />
abandoned in the<br />
middle of the road.<br />

Second crash in two weeks on hillside<br />
•From page 1<br />
When firefighters<br />
reached the scene of<br />
Saturday morning’s<br />
crash, the car was found<br />
upside down. The group<br />
was shaken up when<br />
the brigade arrived, but<br />
grateful for the assistance,<br />
Sayer said.<br />
Sayer said the teenagers<br />
were very lucky the vehicle<br />
did not go off the road.<br />
“It definitely was lucky it<br />
didn’t happen on another<br />
stretch,” he said.<br />
If the crash happened<br />
further along the road, the<br />
car could have gone down<br />
the hillside.<br />
Sayer said the occupants<br />
of the car all looked to be<br />
about 16.<br />
He did not think the<br />
vehicle was stolen. Police<br />
are making inquiries into<br />
the circumstances of the<br />
crash.<br />

Four generations of women experience love, loss, war and<br />
hope from the rise of Nazism to the Cuban Revolution and,<br />
finally, the fall of the Berlin Wall in this sweeping novel from<br />
the internationally bestselling author of The German Girl . Berlin,<br />
1931: Ally Keller, a talented young poet, is alone and scared<br />
when she gives birth to a mixed-race daughter she names Lilith. As<br />
the Nazis rise to power, Ally knows she must keep her baby in the shadows to<br />
protect her against Hitler’s deadly ideology of Aryan purity. But as she grows, it<br />
becomes more and more difficult to keep Lilith hidden, so Ally sets in motion a<br />
dangerous and desperate plan to send her daughter across the ocean to safety.<br />
Havana, 1958: Now an adult, Lilith has few memories of her mother or her<br />
childhood in Germany. Besides, she’s too excited for her future with her beloved<br />
Martin, a Cuban pilot with strong ties to the Batista government. But as the flames<br />
of revolution ignite, Lilith and her newborn daughter, Nadine, find themselves at<br />
a terrifying crossroads. Berlin, 1988: Nadine has spent her entire life avoiding<br />
the truth about her own family’s history. It takes her daughter, Luna, to convince<br />
her to uncover the truth about the choices her mother and grandmother made to<br />
ensure the survival of their children. And it will fall to Luna to come to terms with<br />
a shocking betrayal that changes everything she thought she knew about her<br />
family’s past.<br />

Vanished. In the blink of an eye.<br />
DCS Kat Frank knows all about loss. A widowed single mother, Kat is<br />
a cop who trusts her instincts. Picked to lead a pilot programme that<br />

the only one who can help Kat when the case gets personal.<br />
AI versus human experience. Logic versus instinct. With lives on the<br />

THE LYTTELTON Studio<br />
Monastery will be one of 52<br />
buildings open to the public as<br />
part of the Open Christchurch<br />
architectural festival.<br />
The Bull and O’Sullivan<br />
designed stunner will be<br />
available for viewing on Sunday,<br />
May 7, from 9am-1pm.<br />
The 2015-designed building is<br />
described as taking an elegant<br />
stance over the harbour and has<br />
been called “monastic” by its<br />
architects.<br />
Built of recycled wharf<br />
timbers, the rough and<br />
weathered exterior belies the<br />
treasures within, with the<br />
lower level mimicking a ship’s<br />
quarters. A library has recently<br />
been added to the studio and<br />
living quarters.<br />
Open Christchurch, the<br />
annual festival of architectural<br />
excellence, will be held over the<br />
weekend of May 6-7.<br />
Among those buildings on<br />
offer are a selection of quiet<br />
achievers that sit off the beaten<br />
track and are open access, which<br />
means visitors can just turn<br />
up on the day at advertised<br />
opening times.<br />
Also designed by Bull and<br />
O’Sullivan, the Fonua ’o e maná<br />
Tongan Church in Wigram will<br />
be open on Saturday, May 6<br />
between 11am-2pm. Architect<br />
Michael O’Sullivan will be<br />
on site giving a free tour at 1pm.<br />
For those wanting to see<br />
several buildings at once, head<br />
out to New Brighton to visit the<br />
surf clubs and the Collins and<br />
Harman designed St Faith’s<br />
Church.<br />

schools. Experts will be on site<br />
Saturday and Sunday 10am-1pm<br />
to chat about the sustainability<br />
aspects of the building and how<br />
it serves as a teaching tool.<br />
Stay with education but head<br />
east to Te Aratai College and<br />
enjoy a student-led tour around<br />
the campus. A free architecture<br />
tour will also be put on at noon<br />
and 1pm on Saturday.<br />
In the central city, the<br />
Canterbury Officers’ Club,<br />
next door to CoCA, is a rare<br />
surviving example of modernism<br />
that predates the city’s affair with<br />
brutalism.<br />
Meanwhile the Rose Historic<br />
Chapel on Colombo St is a<br />
gorgeous gothic revival building<br />
commissioned by women, for<br />
women. Discover why this little<br />
building has so much historical<br />
and architectural value at a free<br />
talk on Saturday and Sunday at<br />
10am.<br />

New photo exhibition a series of firsts<br />
A NEW exhibition at Akaroa<br />
Museum tells the story of Banks<br />
Peninsula’s rich photographic<br />
history.<br />
Catching Shadows exhibition<br />
curator Daniel Smith has<br />
assembled more than 80 images<br />
from the museum’s collection of<br />
photographs, along with some<br />
significant loans from private<br />
and public collections.<br />
Presented chronologically, the<br />
exhibition showcases several<br />
local ‘firsts’.<br />
“We have the first local person<br />
to be photographed; the first<br />
photographer active in Akaroa;<br />
the first resident photographer;<br />
and the first woman photographer,”<br />
said Smith.<br />
“However, I hope that the real<br />
value of the exhibition is that it<br />
presents the beginnings of a discussion<br />
about the creation of the<br />
area’s photographic heritage.”<br />
Catching Shadows presents a<br />
feast of historic photography,<br />
showing people and landscapes<br />
from the past along with streetscapes<br />
in beautiful sepia tones.<br />
Beginning with the fabled<br />
Hone Tīkao daguerreotype<br />
portrait from the early 1840s,<br />
it proceeds to the first documented<br />
photographer working<br />
in Akaroa, Christopher Swinbourne<br />
in 1859, and traverses<br />
a century of visiting photographers’<br />
comings and goings.<br />
Works by Akaroa photographers<br />
Henry Watkins and his<br />
brother Will appear, along with<br />
that of Henry Billens and Arthur<br />
Gungall, who set up studios<br />
only to find their businesses<br />
struggled.<br />
“Then came the T. E. Taylor<br />
studio and the great Jessie Buckland<br />
in the early 20th century,<br />
followed by Donald J. McKay<br />
from Le Bons <strong>Bay</strong> in the 1950s,”<br />
said Smith.<br />
Thanks to a grant from<br />
the Ministry for Culture and<br />
Heritage’s Museum Hardship<br />
Fund, Catching Shadows is<br />
accompanied by an attractive<br />
exhibition catalogue created<br />
by Smith. The fund was set up<br />
to help cultural and heritage<br />
organisations in the wake of<br />
Covid-19.<br />
• The exhibition is open<br />
daily from 10.30am-<br />
4.30pm at Akaroa Museum<br />
Emily Blythe, CEO and<br />
Founder of aviation<br />
company Pyper Vision<br />
“Christchurch: Aerospace<br />
Capital of New Zealand”<br />
is a reality on the horizon<br />
At <strong>26</strong> years old, Emily Blythe has been named <strong>2023</strong> Spark<br />
New Zealand Innovator of the year for her work creating<br />
safe visibility at airports by dispersing fog using a specially<br />
designed, environmentally friendly drone. Emily, CEO and<br />
founder of Christchurch company Pyper Vision, originally<br />
pitched the idea as a 16-year-old high school student and has<br />
aviation in her blood. Her mum is an air traffic controller and<br />
her dad and grandad are both pilots who often got delayed due<br />
to fog issues, so naturally she started thinking about solutions.<br />
Fog delays and diversions are large costs for exporters, airlines<br />
and airports — Pyper Vision estimated that fog disruptions cost NZ$18.5<br />
billion a year globally. And diverted flights produce significantly more<br />
carbon emissions.<br />
Emily and Pyper Vision’s success is just one example of the city’s<br />
booming aerospace and aviation community that offers an abundance<br />
of opportunity. The scale of growth is huge and incorporates not<br />
just aviation and the obvious space flight and rocketry, but also<br />
manufacturing, engineering, geospatial mapping, data analytics,<br />
education, training and services.<br />
Why Aerospace in Christchurch?<br />
Canterbury is an ideal location for aerospace and aviation. It has a<br />
generous expanse of skies, clear airways, remote seas to the south and<br />
all with easy access to international sea and airports. And the Kaitorete<br />
Spit is technically the best site in Aotearoa for aerospace and space<br />
launch activity. The geographic advantage is backed by the city’s strong<br />
innovation ecosystem and advanced manufacturing sector, both of which<br />
help make Christchurch home to global leading companies working to<br />
minimise environmental impact.<br />
Pyper Vision themselves grew within the ecosystem, launching as a<br />
startup through Te Ōhaka’s innovation programme. Study pathways<br />
add strength to the sector with the University of Canterbury offering<br />
Aotearoa’s first aerospace minor as part of an engineering qualification.<br />
This is boosted by the strong network of aerospace companies nurtured<br />
by industry body Aerospace New Zealand. It is on a mission to create an<br />
aerospace business hub in Canterbury that exceeds $50+ million annual<br />
revenue by 2030 and already has 200+ Christchurch–based members<br />
including businesses and supporters.<br />
The economic impact is significant:<br />
Around the world innovation hubs associated with aerospace<br />
generate an economic ecosystem around themselves<br />
By 2050 the global value is estimated to be $2.7 trillion<br />
In Canterbury, the economic impact is estimated to be<br />
between $100 million and $1 billion already<br />
Aerospace New Zealand<br />
A not-for-profit industry body that promotes the interests of<br />
our city, our region, and our nation. Their mission is to grow<br />
a thriving Aotearoa New Zealand aerospace ecosystem that<br />
is highly regarded around the world. An inclusive and<br />
sustainable aerospace industry that aligns with Aotearoa<br />
New Zealand’s values in enabling environmental and social<br />
outcomes that improve the wellbeing of all New Zealanders.<br />
Dawn Aerospace<br />
Dawn Aerospace is building a space transportation network.<br />
They’re a leading provider of green propulsion for satellites<br />
and have hardware on 12 operational satellites. Dawn are also<br />
developing a rocket-powered spaceplane — an innovation<br />
that aims to increase launch capacity and space accessibility<br />
in a sustainable way.<br />
Fabrum<br />
World leaders in end-to-end liquid hydrogen systems that are<br />
currently being used to decarbonise the aviation, heav transport,<br />
and mining. They are building systems for ground-based<br />
infrastructure and on-board fuel tanks for zero emission flights.<br />
Fabrum are partners with AIRBUS, AirNZ New Zealand, and<br />
Christchurch Airport in a consortium to adopt hydrogen in aviation.<br />
SPS Automation<br />
A Christchurch-based R&D company specialising in tailored<br />
airborne and ground-based automated robotic systems. Their core<br />
technology is sensor-based artificial intelligence and the design/<br />
integration of the robots that use it. SPS Automation has in-house<br />
rapid prototyping facilities. If it flies, rolls or moves and needs to<br />
think, then they can build it.<br />
Skybase<br />
Since 2017, Skybase has driven local industry growth in uncrewed<br />
aviation technology. With world-first regulatory approvals, they<br />
have upgraded an existing aerial firefighting aeroplane to fly as<br />
an autonomous drone with no pilot on board. This enables flight<br />
at times and in places that would otherwise not be possible.<br />
Orbica<br />
Orbica’s Geospatial Platform has been designed to make data<br />
and tools available to all. Their platform combines the best cloud,<br />
AI & geospatial technologies enabling data practitioners to<br />
interpret the data and provide the vital insights humanity needs<br />
to better understand what is going on with the earth.

species were counted in the<br />
reserve.<br />
A large population of Canterbury<br />
ground wētā (Hemiandrus<br />
celaeno) was observed, with the<br />
highest count during a nocturnal<br />
active survey – over 30.<br />
These observations, along with<br />
the discovery of the common<br />
stick insect (Clitarchus hookeri)<br />
and the cave wētā (Isoplectron<br />
armatum) populations may<br />
be indicators of ecosystem<br />
resilience.<br />
It is likely due to the recent<br />
history of land reclamation and<br />
restorative planting that these<br />
species have dispersed into the<br />
reserve in the last 25 years, via<br />
terrestrial movement from local<br />
sites such as Port Hills reserves<br />
and Charlesworth Reserve. If<br />
these are recent dispersal events,<br />
it may indicate natural indigenous<br />
ecosystem restoration.<br />
Recommendations for the<br />
future include increasing<br />
diversity of indigenous plant<br />
species. Many of New Zealand’s<br />
insects are host plant specific<br />
(relying on a specific plant to<br />
complete the insect’s life-cycle),<br />
so increasing diversity of<br />
indigenous plants may increase<br />
insect diversity or would create<br />
stable populations of recorded<br />
insect species.<br />
Secondly, increasing the<br />
quantity of trees and shrubs,<br />
specifically indigenous<br />
vegetation. This will allow more<br />
habitat for current invertebrate<br />
populations.<br />
Thirdly, minimising<br />
disturbance for enhancement<br />
of varied habitat types. Grassy<br />
INSECT: The Canterbury ground wētā was one of 166<br />
species of invertebrates found in McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> Reserve.<br />
areas are mowed, which may be<br />
limiting diversity as observations<br />
of tall grass areas yielded unique<br />
species not found elsewhere in<br />
the sites. Ceasing the mowing<br />
of at least some edge areas may<br />
provide increased habitat for<br />
these species, allowing a greater<br />
diversity of species to establish in<br />
the reserve.<br />

Wingham was trained between<br />
World War 1 and World War 2 in<br />
a horseback cavalry, the Canterbury<br />
Yeomanry, a mounted rifle<br />
regiment.<br />
Dispatched early in the war,<br />
he fought in North Africa and<br />
Greece. He was taken prisoner<br />
and incarcerated in Slovakia,<br />
before being freed near the end of<br />
the war.<br />
After the war, he came back<br />
to New Zealand and became a<br />
farmer.<br />
Wingham was awarded five<br />
WW2 service medals.<br />
He passed away about 10 years<br />
ago, so never got to meet Jack.<br />
But Waghorn-Lees said<br />
Jack has always felt a special<br />
connection to his great grandad,<br />
and loves looking at pictures of<br />
him in his uniform, wearing his<br />
medals.<br />
Jack was able to share his great<br />

Roundabout plan ‘laudable’ but flawed<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
recent article on planned<br />
changes to the Dyers<br />
Pass Rd/Colombo St<br />
roundabout<br />
Making the Dyers Pass,<br />
Colombo, Cashmere, Centaurus<br />
roundabout safer is a laudable<br />
aim, but the proposed design will<br />
not achieve this. The pedestrian<br />
crossings are too close to the<br />
roundabout and the chances of a<br />
pedestrian being struck are high,<br />
especially on Colombo St.<br />
These crossings are a mere<br />
5m from the roundabout, when<br />
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport<br />
Agency recommends a<br />
minimum distance of 12m to<br />
20m, depending on traffic.<br />
The raised platforms on the<br />
Dyers Pass Rd approach are<br />
inappropriate for the steep<br />
gradient, and an alternative<br />
means of slowing traffic should<br />
be used (rumble strips?).<br />
The turn from Dyers Pass<br />
to Cashmere Rd is too sharp<br />
for many vehicles and will<br />
force drivers either to make a<br />
three-point turn or mount the<br />
pedestrian refuge on Cashmere<br />
Rd.<br />
There is also a question over<br />
whether the overall diameter of<br />
the roundabout is too small for<br />
buses turning from Colombo<br />
St to Cashmere Rd (route 1)<br />
to complete the turn without<br />
mounting the footpath on the<br />
Centaurus/Dyers Pass corner.<br />
In all, there is a good chance that<br />
the changes as proposed will<br />
increase both congestion and<br />
accidents.<br />
A rethink of the design is<br />
required.<br />
– Philip Tree<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />
I am sure you will receive a lot<br />
of feedback regarding this article<br />
featured in <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
on <strong>April</strong> 12. Safety needs to take<br />
priority over cost. The platforms<br />
at the intersections mentioned in<br />
the article are at light-controlled<br />
intersections with more than<br />
one lane, not a busy roundabout.<br />
I believe a light-controlled<br />
intersection is the best and safest<br />
option for all users. As a regular<br />
user of this roundabout for more<br />
than 20 years, I often see traffic<br />
backed up on Dyers Pass waiting<br />
for traffic coming through<br />
Centaurus Rd, or coming off<br />
Colombo St and right-turning<br />
onto Centaurus Rd.<br />
I believe traffic lights would<br />
control this flow more evenly.<br />
I regularly see vehicles “taking<br />
chances” – lights would prevent<br />
these events. Lights would<br />
make it safer for pedestrians<br />
wishing to cross the road as they<br />
would do so on the light signal<br />
– there is no way someone in a<br />
wheelchair can currently safely<br />
cross. Narrowing the roads<br />
approaching the roundabout<br />
will cause congestion as those<br />
vehicles wanting to turn from<br />
Colombo into Centaurus and<br />
Dyers into Centaurus, will need<br />
to stay in the queue with all the<br />
through traffic before being<br />
able to make their turn. I do not<br />
believe traffic lights would not<br />
improve safety and cause more<br />

The city<br />
council need<br />
to listen to<br />
those who regularly use this<br />
roundabout before considering<br />
the decision to ensure the best<br />
outcome for all users.<br />
– Philippa Staples<br />
The Cashmere Rd/Colombo<br />
St roundabout is risky because<br />
it becomes congested. This<br />
proposal to slow traffic is the<br />
wrong thinking process.<br />
The city council needs to<br />
change its current traffic<br />
management policy of<br />
containing traffic onto arterial<br />

I suggest a left turn from<br />

be established. Remuera Ave<br />
would be better reconfigured<br />
for two-way traffic and the<br />
speed bumps be removed from<br />

Containing traffic flows leads<br />
to concentrated usage and I<br />
suggest this intersection wont<br />
become less risky until traffic<br />
flows are reduced.<br />

TREASURES FROM THE PAST<br />
ANZAC Day commemorations in Ōhinehou Lyttelton, c. 1940. Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum ref. 8038.1 https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1132339<br />
Honouring our ANZAC troops<br />
AT 3PM on August 5, 1914,<br />
the Governor of His Majesty’s<br />
British Dominion of New<br />
Zealand, Lord Liverpool, stood<br />
on the steps of Parliament to<br />
announce the declaration of war<br />
on the German Empire, to the<br />
enthusiastic cheers of a crowd of<br />
15,000 loyal citizens.<br />
An all-volunteer New Zealand<br />
Expeditionary Force was formed,<br />
with a Māori Contingent of 500<br />
soldiers, including several men<br />
from Rāpaki. By October 1914,<br />
the NZEF main body comprised<br />
8454 soldiers from Canterbury,<br />
Otago, Auckland and Wellington.<br />
They embarked on 10 troop<br />
ships from Wellington, including<br />
the Tahiti and Athenic out of<br />
Lyttelton Port, on October 16,<br />
1914, bound for Suez, Egypt,<br />
arriving on December 3.<br />
Shortly after, the British<br />
Empire declared war on the<br />
Ottoman Empire.<br />
On December 8, 1914 the<br />
Australian and New Zealand<br />
forces united as the Australian<br />
and New Zealand Army Corps<br />
under British senior command.<br />
On <strong>April</strong> 25, 1915, the ANZAC<br />
troops landed on Turkey’s Gallipoli<br />
peninsula, under heavy<br />
fire, at what is now Anzac Cove.<br />
The Dardanelles offensive aimed<br />
to cut off Turkey’s commitment<br />
to the German war effort in<br />
Europe. However, the British and<br />
French forces were ill-equipped<br />
for the modern Turkish Army’s<br />
defences, resulting in heavy<br />
casualties.<br />
The military disaster became<br />
alarmingly apparent back home<br />
as the initial New Zealand Defence<br />
Department casualty lists<br />
were published weekly under the<br />
ominous headline ‘Roll of Honour’,<br />
beginning May 1915. The<br />
growing list of casualties affected<br />
every region and township across<br />
both islands, including communities<br />
from around Whakaraupō<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
To honour just a few:<br />
Sergeant Percy Kent Irvine was<br />
the fifth son of Mr and Mrs Irvine<br />
of Selwyn Tce, Lyttelton. He<br />
was 25 years old when killed in<br />
action at Gallipoli on May 31. He<br />
had been a joiner by trade and<br />
a Corporal in the New Zealand<br />
Garrison Artillery Volunteers,<br />
No. 4 Company, Lyttelton.<br />
Private Waitere Manihera<br />
(Ngāti Wheke, Ngāi Tūāhuriri,<br />
Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahukura,<br />
Ngāti Kuhungunu) from<br />
Rāpaki, was serving in the<br />
Māori Contingent, and just 24<br />
years old when he was killed in<br />
action at Gallipoli on August 6.<br />
His 30-year-old uncle, Private<br />
Henare Paipeta, also of Rāpaki,<br />
was fighting alongside Waitere<br />
when he died, and was himself<br />
severely wounded in the same<br />
action at Chunuk Bair.<br />
Their teacher at Rāpaki, Evelyn<br />
Hastings, lost his son Major Norman<br />
Hastings of the Wellington<br />
Mounted Rifles just three days<br />
later in the very same battle. Initially<br />
listed as wounded and then<br />
missing, it took over six months<br />
for his death to be declared.<br />
Nora Hildyard, of Lyttelton,<br />
was lost at sea along with nine<br />
others from the Army Nursing<br />
Service when the troopship Marquette<br />
was sunk by a German<br />
torpedo in the Aegean Sea on<br />
October 23. This loss was keenly<br />
felt across Te Waipounamu<br />
South Island where most of the<br />
nurses came from.<br />
After just three months at<br />
Gallipoli, total New Zealand<br />
casualties had reached 3300<br />
with 760 dead. By December 20<br />
when the ANZACs evacuated<br />
Anzac Cove, the battle for the<br />
Dardanelles had cost 7500 New<br />
Zealand casualties including<br />
2779 dead. While it is said that<br />
Gallipoli was a defining moment<br />
in Aotearoa New Zealand’s<br />
sense of nationhood, its ‘Roll of<br />
Honour’ was just the beginning,<br />
with the list of dead and wounded<br />
growing inexorably through<br />
the next three long years on the<br />
Western Front.<br />
Of the 100,000 NZEF mobilised<br />
overseas – including 2200<br />
Māori, 500 Pacific Islanders, and<br />
550 women of the New Zealand<br />
Army Nursing Service – 18,000<br />
died, including 59 men and one<br />
woman from Whakaraupō Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Of those who survived, 41,000<br />
were wounded. Private Alex<br />
Miller embarked on February<br />
16, 2017 with the 2nd Canterbury<br />
Battalion. He was severely<br />
wounded in action on August 8,<br />
2017 at La Basse Ville, Belgium,<br />
and lost a leg. Upon discharge,<br />
he ran his grandfather’s Lyttelton<br />
business, J. Miller Boatbuilding<br />
and Shipwrights, and was a keen<br />
yachtsman. He died in 1971 at<br />
75.<br />
It is perhaps hard to fathom<br />
the nation defining shock that<br />
engulfed that generation of New<br />
Zealanders and Australians.<br />
You can see it in the ANZAC<br />
cenotaphs they left behind to<br />
commemorate their dead.<br />
If you’re old enough, you could<br />
see it in the great uncles who survived<br />
the horror of the trenches<br />
and returned home only to die<br />
young of misadventure or suicide;<br />
in the great aunties who never<br />
married or raised a family for lack<br />
of men to marry; and you could<br />
see it in the stoicism of a generation<br />
of those who then endured<br />
the 1918 flu pandemic, followed by<br />
the 1930s Great Depression, only<br />
to be confronted by the nightmare<br />
of yet another war in Europe just<br />
20 years after the end of the ‘war<br />
to end all wars’.<br />
