The stories on this blog are a memorial to my fifteen courageous great uncles who bravely served with New Zealand's forces during The Great War, 1914-1918. Lest we forget.
When Uncle Fred Smith returned from the war he was badly hurt, and according to his grandson Brian, spent two years in hospital recuperating from his injuries.
Fred was honorably discharged from the army. He was awarded two elaborate certificates as well as medals to acknowledge his service. Brian has these proudly hanging on his wall at his home.
