Anyone here from Auckland NZ?

Post by Ann In the UK » Thu Apr 02, 2009 9:15 am

Hi!

Own a camera? Fancy a little trip tramping round the graves of long-dead war hero's in your locality for someone who's never likely to get there herself in a gazillion years? It won't take long, I have all the details, right here in front of me.

I'd be happy to return the favour for you here if I can :D

Ann

(Well, if you don't ask... :wink: )

It's my 2x great uncle, Walter Carrick. I just found him, thanks to this site, this week. He's buried in the soldier's section of Waikumete cemetary. It's on the Great North Road, Glen Eden, between Glenview and Awaroa Roads.

There's a map here

He's in Block F, Section K, No. 5.

His death date was 27th April 1938.

Greetings from New Zealand.

I live in the Waikato, and occasionally pass through Auckland with camera. Not normally out west but could photograhp my extended family's markers while at it, I suppose.

Hi Alan and Momat,

I was a very lucky girl and managed to get his service history and some photo's of his grave some time ago (this is an old post).

But thank you both so so much for your interest, it's very much appreciated.

Best wishes to you both, Ann
