Kōrero taurongo
- Gerald Harrison was the son of James and Katherine Harrison of St Albans,Christchurch.
Operation Orders for the attack on Polderhoek Chateau and grounds were issued on 1 December 1917.The assault was to take place on 3 December with two battalions of the 2nd Infantry Brigade in line, namely the 1st Battalion of Otago and the 1st Battalion of Canterbury. In addition to the artillery barrage which was to support the attack arrangements were made for the operation to be covered by a barrage of machine gun fire, by trench mortars and by a discharge of gas by 4in. Stokes mortars. The attack was not a success and a fatal miscalculation caused the two leading Companies (4th and 10th) to be caught in the destructive fire of their own artillery.Severe losses were incurred. See A.E. Byrne The Official History of the Otago Regiment in the Great War, p. 232ff. and David FergusonThe History of the Canterbury Regiment, NZEF 1914-1919, p. 212ff.There is a good map on p. 216/7 of this book. AWMM - James and Katherine Harrison farmed and raised their family in the mid-Canterbury area, firstly in the upper Ashburton River area, and then nearer Mt Somers. There is a memorial window in St Aidans church in Mt Somers to them, and to the sons that died in World War 1. Because Gerald's sister Connie married A.R Turnbull who farmed at Balcairn in North Canterbury, and another sister Annette married AR Turnbull's first cousin Dick Turnbull in Timaru, Gerald Harrison was is the great uncle of a number of North Canterbury and Timaru Turnbulls. Gerald thus had connections in the Balcairn/Amberley area.Public - Susan - Other relative - 12 October 2017 - Family history. Gerald Harrison was my grandmother Annette's brother. She was born in 9 April 1898. My aunt was named Geraldine, and my brother Andrew Gerald Turnbull was presumably also named after him. No family stories were told however.
