@StephenClarkeNZ@CWGC Agree! I got curious after my visit and was pleased to find the portrait of Ronald and a bit more info about him and his service. Definitely worth a visit and a beautiful spot too.
I managed to sneak in a visit to Haydar Pasha Cemetery. The diversity of ages, occupations, ranks and services left me pausing for thought. Said a few words to Trooper R. Gowland of the NZ Mounted Rifles who died aged 19 #Gallipoli#WW1#Istanbul@CWGC

Section 47 of the Public Records Act requires Archives NZ to make its records freely available to members of the public as soon as is reasonably practical on request. It is a legal requirement increasingly honoured more in the breach than the observance by our part-time Archives.
