  • On behalf of my Grandad, your nephew called Adrian, son of your sister known as Kitty, thank you for all you did for our country. You are remembered and your memorials at Masterton and in Greytown are visited by at least three of Kitty's descendants. Kitty's son Ian has a son Donald who also visits. God bless your soul and all the souls of the lives lost. We pray for world peace.
