You have made your whanau proud. Your ancestors have not forgotten your sacrifices and never will — thank you.

Gone but not forgotten.Lest we forget

E to matou rangatira, tuakana, koroua, matua - e kore koe e warewaretia e matou nga uri whakaheke. Kei a matou tonu koe aa wairua. He aorangi koe, he whetu e arahi tonu ana matou. Ka titiro ake matou ki runga ki a koe, he ahi e whakamahana ana mai; he rama e piataata mai ana. He aroha mutunga kore mou. Na to whanau, au iramutu me au mokopuna, nga tamariki mokopuna a Sholto raua ko Betty Black.

To my great Uncle Lincoln for whom my dad John Lincoln Black is also named, I never knew you and sadly I never will .....its my loss...it does not prevent us from celebrating your memory glancing to whanau photos on the wall for my reference. ANZAC and particularly this 100th year commemoration of the Gallipoli campaign is a staunch and poignant reminder of yet another families sacrifice for hungry wars that never end . Our love is eternal Uncle....my Dad, your nephew has now joined you...put your welcoming arms around him for us please.
