A New Feature....
Beginning next year, "Gisborne Photo News" will include a new feature each month: a page to be devoted to Ex-Servicemen of All Wars. Every Digger and Kiwi has photographs tucked away somewhere illustrating the eventual days spent overseas, some tragic, some humorous, all interesting. Please send them in accompanied by names and details. We prefer pictures of Gisborne-East Coast personalities. All pictures returned by post after use.
To start the ball rolling, here's a picture from Fred Barwick, vintage 1914.
It was back in 1914 when this picture was taken at Awapuni Camp, near Palmerston North. It shows Gisborne men in No.1 Troop, Wellington Mounted Rifles, prior to service overseas. Back row: Tmptr. O.
