New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Hamilton Memorial Park
« on: Wednesday 31 March 21 18:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi Graham,
         you can add photos when you reply or write your query at bottom  of  your page where you write your message  it will say add attachments and other options .you click on that it will say where they are desktop,photos  documents etc so open that on your own computer and  you can attach .If they  are  too large they wont go thru so you will have to make them smaller . certain sites if  you copy and paste  wont go thru which happened to me yesterday
but  I have never had a problem with photos ..
give it go and try .

  You may find this info of some help to you
Prisk Street Hamilton was named by AC Smith the owner of a property in Prisk Street . He named it after Ben Prisk the original owner of the property .The street now comes under the heritage trust

If you go to www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/online-cenotaph/record/C91373
you will find info on Ben Prisk here

 google Hamilton NZ  Memorial park it will come up with the site and you can check the Prisk name here .
it doesnt seem to want be to download it.
We usually go down for the Anzac service I am sure the names were on the wall but maybe gone now and instead have single white crosses all round the gardens in memory of those that lost their lives I am sure last time they had their names on the crosses . If we go down this year will check it out for you. They only have them out for a few days then take them down again

New Zealand Completed Requests / Stephen William Holder in New Plymouth
« on: Saturday 27 March 21 07:39 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find  family of Stephen Holder who died 10th March 1978 and cremated and buried in the
Te Henui cemetery , New Plymouth .
Stephen flew the Lancaster bombers over Germany in WW2 and my Father inlaw  John (Jack)  Nicholls  was navigator on the same plane   they did quite a few missions together. Stephen was good mates with my father inlaw and when my husband was born Stephen known as Steve was made his god father .
 He would love to find the  family of this man  to share photos with the family and  chat about   their missions  they did together..
My father inlaw did his training in Canada before being based in the UK and we presume Stephen did the same
if anyone can help with this  we would be really grateful.
