I started it because I had so many people contact me from NZ who are all descendants but didn't know of each other, so now they have a virtual place to meet up. Just answer the joining questions if you'd like to be part of it. I agree about new things being found, although I have yet to find her family back in England. One day.....Janelle Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012439360388860496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5522872009502659965.post-26054714922807524742023-12-03T11:26:33.562+11:002023-12-03T11:26:33.562+11:00(Bit late, sorry!)

WAIPUNAHAU ,Georges wife held a lot of respect in the area and pass this onto her son Wi Parata. Wi Parata become a member of Parliment at a time where he was fighting against colonialism and injustice.Wi PARATA journals shows he had another layer to his personality and since reading about his grandparents Thomas and Esther I can see where he got his audacity from.I love reading and thinking about his background and thank you for all the research and patience you have endured.

The Memorial stands on the high ground ('Hill 104') behind the Villers-Bretonneux Military Cemetery, Fouilloy, which is about 2 km north of Villers-Bretonneux on the east side of the road to Fouilloy.<br /><br />The Australian National Memorial, Villers-Bretonneux is approached through the Military Cemetery, at the end of which is an open grass lawn which leads into a three-sided court. The two pavilions on the left and right are linked by the north and south walls to the back (east) wall, from which rises the focal point of the Memorial, a 105 foot tall tower, of fine ashlar. A staircase leads to an observation platform, 64 feet above the ground, from which further staircases lead to an observation room. This room contains a circular stone tablet with bronze pointers indicating the Somme villages whose names have become synonymous with battles of the Great War; other battle fields in France and Belgium in which Australians fought; and far beyond, Gallipoli and Canberra.<br /><br />On the three walls, which are faced with Portland stone, are the names of 10,885 Australians who were killed in France and who have no known grave. The 'blocking course' above them bears the names of the Australian Battle Honours.<br /><br />After the war an appeal in Australia raised £22,700, of which £12,500 came from Victorian school children, with the request that the majority of the funds be used to build a new school in Villers-Bretonneux. The boys' school opened in May 1927, and contains an inscription stating that the school was the gift of Victorian schoolchildren, twelve hundred of whose fathers are buried in the Villers-Bretonneux cemetery, with the names of many more recorded on the Memorial. Villers-Bretonneux is now twinned with Robinvale, Victoria, which has in its main square a memorial to the links between the two towns.<br />Panel number, Roll of Honour,<br /> Australian War Memorial 142<br />Miscellaneous information from<br /> cemetery records Parents: Henry and Margaret TUCK, Flinders, Victoria<br />Family/military connections Brother: 759 Pte William TUCK, 41st Bn, died of disease, 18 April 1917.
