Biographical information

Biographical information

Contribute ›
  • Mr Dowrick continued to serve in the territorial forces. (1 Field Engineers Regiment)

    Enlisted as Church of England, now Roman Catholic

    Mr Dowrick's name is recorded in the nominal roll as Harold Innes Dowrick which appears to be an error as the family record it was Harold Ignatius Dowrick.

    An Olive Tree (Olea europaea) planted close to the Auckland War Memorial Museum in the grounds of the Auckland Domain commemorates those who fought on Crete. The plaque at the base of the tree reads: This Olive Tree was presented to the New Zealand Veterans of the Battle for Crete by the people of Galatos in Crete in respect and the esteem of the bond formed during and after the Battle of Crete May 1941.
