• Notes

  Not much is known about Neil. He was a medic on the hospital ship HS Maunganui during WW2. His rank was Corporal. My memory of him (from the 1950's to 1970's) is that he was a clerical worker, often unemployed, and something of a recluse. He often helped Ian on the orchard at weekends and always joined Ian and family for Christmas. After Ian died Neil moved to the Veterans Home in Levin where he died on 12 November 1996. His ashes were buried in the Returned Services Area of the Marsden Valley Cemetery, Stoke, Nelson on 15 November 1996 (RSA Area, Plot 342). He never married.
