    GISBORNE'S ROLL OF HONOR
    Trooper R C Dreaper (Wellington Regiment) who has died of wounds, left Gisborne with a small draft of mounted men on October 17. When he enlisted he was engaged in sheep-farming at Ruakituri, where he had resided for some years, and was very popular amongst his many friends in that district and on Gisborne. Trooper Dreaper was 32 years of age and came from the Old Country. Public - Lorraine Mona - Researcher - 14 May 2023 - GISBORNE'S ROLL OF HONOR

  • I found this in Allan Watkins 1915 diary written on the 11 July 1915 "Poor old Dreaper got badly hit by a shell today, only a miracle can save him. He is a most singular man, quite unlike any fellow I have ever come across. A very clever fellow but too bored to make use of his talents."
