The conclusion of this story-
As the headstone on the grave of Harold George Brocklehurst was not photographed until 2014 and the magazine article about him appeared the previous year, I suspected that his descendants may not be aware of the memorial in New Zealand. On contacting the editor of 'Inside History' in Australia, this indeed proved to be the case.
Part of her reply includes a comment for me from the Australian descendant.......
"Many thanks for your email and the two links – I was not aware of the headstone and I guess either Minnie or my grandfather or Harold’s family were responsible for that. It was a very traumatic event for my grandmother and must have haunted her all her life.... it is nice to know there are kind people out there who feel sad at what my Granny went through."
A satisfactory result I think......
