Tena koe, I have been researching and writing a book about our whanau's military history and have been trying to locate members from the Hohua whanau. Please view my profile on this website and contact me on my email: kerehona@hotmail.com I am a grandson of Te Ani (Dixie) BIDDLE, one of Jack's biological sisters. Arohanui Brent Kerehona
