    Report 
  • In memory of Edward William Lewis, who was greatly loved by all his family. He served in World War I alongside his brother Andrew Jonathan - sadly his brother was killed by a stray sniper bullet and was buried in France. Edward returned home to Auckland after the war and married Margaret McGregor and has many descendents. In memory of your courage and bravery, lest we forget.
