    Report 
  • Our Brother "Phil" was tragically take from us in a motor car accident but the night before his Tour was to finish-!! He was serving his country on a 2 year Tour of Duty with "New Zealand Forces South Sea Asia" as part of the 1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment. Remember this brave soldier who was sent far away from his home, friends and whanau. Died in a foreign land as he was willing to put his life on the line for his country and the fight for freedom. Lest we Forget.
