Hello thank you for response.Walter was born in Waharoa I was told and served in the war.He is buried in Mangere lawn cemetery. I didn't know his wife's name was Letitia.Do you have anymore information, I have been told very little of my Mothers Father and nothing adds up.

He has obviously used an alias along the way. As far as I can see he didn't serve in the war. He was in fact, a defaulter. Maybe by another name.
It will help in my search if you can tell me his childrens names & birth dates. Even just your dad.
He is not recorded as buried in Mangere, under that name anyway. Have you personaly sighted his grave?

Hi he is also my grandfather. Although he was with my grandmother Kathleen but they never married she died quite young I can’t remember her surname but think it was Pound. They had five children.
