George Mailer enquires:
I have recently been made aware of a relative of mine who apparently served in the RNZA in WW2. His name was Robert Menzies Robertson and before the war he was a dairy farmer in North Queensland; as such he was knocked back for military service by virtue of being in a reserved occupation. Until now I have always believed that he was killed in1944 in a logging accident near Atherton, Nth Queensland.
I have now been told by a previously unknown relative that he was in fact a member of the 2nd NZ Expeditionary Force and was a Gunner in 6 Field Regt. Reputedly, he was killed on active service while serving with this unit and his name appears on a Roll of Honour somewhere in NZ. Read more . . .
