This is my Nan's mother's favourite brother. He was a qualified secondary teacher and NZ Máori All Black. He must have had a terrible night before this photo was taken, because Nan says he was a handsome man and this pic does not do him justice.
He played once in rotorua as a Rep for NZ Máori hockey too.
Sadly he lost his legs by amputation, they were wounded so badly. It came back from one of his fellow comrades that he spent his time as a patient in the army hospital in Greece shuffling on his rear from bed to bed cheering up his wounded comrades playing cards, and doing whatever they wanted to do. He died of his wounds.
