  • John Griffith Bell was my Great grandfather. He returned from the war after being wounded and had two daughters with his wife Emily, Gloria and Shirley. I was fortunate to have had him and my Great grandmother in my life until I was in my twenties. He was a kindly, gentle man who had the courage of his convictions and I am very proud of him and what he did to keep New Zealand safe for future generations.
