This officer, though wounded in the hand during the advance, refused to go to the dressing station and preferred to remain with his battalion as so many of his brother officers had fallen. He remained and sited the New Switch Line and helped to consolidate it for eighteen hours until relieved by another battalion. His example had a most inspiring effect on the men who continued the consolidation all day under heavy fire."Mahi HāngaiWW1; 1914-1918Tangata Hāngāi Major William George Wray 1NZEF: The Otago Regiment, 2nd BattalionWāhi HāngaiPrussia (historic)/GermanyWāWorld War 1, 1914-18/WarsPāoholeather/animal materialmetal/inorganic materialRaraunga Ine209mm229mm142mmTaumata whakarōpūhelmetheadgearuniforms Helmet, MilitaryHelmetHeadwearClothing03 Personal ArtifactsWhakahounga o Mua15 May 2023 Tūemi e whai hononga Ngā hua o DigitalNZ PORT OF PICTON.
