While visiting the South Island of New Zealand (Te Waipounamu, Aotearoa) I saw the roll of honour for the Second World War displayed on the shore of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown (Tāhuna) in the Otago in the south-west. The memorial lists the men killed in the Great World War, and those who returned! A small plaque also lists those who were killed in the Second World War: Campbell D. (MM); Chall H.J.; Jones R.E.; Lloyd K.A.; Mason C.T. Capt. (MC); Rankin A.L.; Robinson J.E.
