Now have a Facebook page for Featherston WW1 cemetery, and will list all the original names for the headstones which family, friends donated for their soldier, the list is the official one, advertised in Wairapara Times Age in 1970, in short asking for family to collect the dilapidated tablets.... not words I would use, these lovely marble monuments were put on the soldiers graves by famliy less than 100 years ago, 1920s... up to 1970 when the Regimental one was placed on each grave, I am in touch with a few descendants about this, local one is for Private E. R. ISSELL, no sign of his black granite headstone in the piles I found back in 2003. But why only have this notification in one newspaper here in NZ when the soldiers were in fact from all over New Zealand, and beyond? The lists were published from 7th October 1970 to 28th October 1970. Acknowledgement from a contact at Trentham has given me the lists... The tablets to be removed are (were) Pte. Alexander. G. Pte. Barter. J. H. Gnr. Black. J.A.J. Pte Bridle A. W. Rqms Bright. W. F. * 2.3.1917. Pte Byrnes R. * 29.3.1916 Pte. Caverhill. C. J Sgt Carnachan. A. W. Pte Colville. W.W.D. Pte. Cunliffe. E. H. 2/Lt.

Now those with Asterisk died 1916. possibly illness. But I know of two other names not on this list who had headstones, one is I am sure is FOORD. and EARBY. Earby one is now near the replacement headstone, as have shown it to actual family members. The headstones for Influenza illness are now in the Wall at the Cemetery, but I would have like them all to be included, they trained for our Country and died at the Featherston training camp. I hope to visit the cemetery with in the next few days, Thomas W. Spence King's birthday today, 10th Sept... he was the Gt. Grandson of John King, one of the First Missonary to NZ in 1814,his actual headstone is now at St John's Churchyard at Waimate North, i was there for the Blessing off it some years back with the King family.. Anyone related to any of the soldiers please get in touch thank you.
