  • To my Granddad William Baxter (Ritchie), Unfortunately I never met you, but it has been an honour to learn of your life as a WW1 Soldier, with researching your army records, and our Family history. I placed flowers on your resting place at the RSA cemetery at Taneatua, and your great-grandchildren proudly wear your medals at the ANZAC dawn parade. Your grand-daughter, Maggie.
