Can anyone tell me the name of my granfather's batman? Possibly 20 years ago at an ANZAC day in Whakatane an elderly gentleman introduced himself to me as Horton's batman. I had never heard of a batman before. I regret that I did not remember his name. You don't always realise the importance of things when you are young! I would like to speak to him again if he still survives. Grateful for any assistance. Regards KJ Goodhew
