Second Battle of Bullecourt (3?17 May 1917)
see Samuel James Topp
ALSO READ:
Australia's bravest Digger could be found in mass grave in France
... A forgotten document that describes the fate of hundreds of Diggers massacred at Bullecourt has helped identify the location of more mass graves in France and researchers want government help to conduct ground radar searches of two sites
More fallen diggers found at Bullecourt
... They were buried where they lay. Not in mass graves prepared by the Germans, but in haste, by fellow diggers who pushed dirt in on top of the crater where their dead companions had been taking shelter, and then fled. And there they are believed to remain, up to 13 Australian soldiers, interred in a nameless pit beneath a road in northern France
Scarred ground still gives up its secrets
... "Each year the plough blades bring to the surface unexploded shells, scrap metal, the bones of lost soldiers"
The inscription on a memorial marker at Bullecourt reads:
"To the glory of God and in the memory of 2423 officers and other ranks serving the Australian Imperial Forces who fell in these fields and have no known grave,
April - May 1917, RIP".

Cecil von Blaramberg, (under the name C. A CURTIS), was the principal of a private school, Te Aro Grammer School, in Wellington from 1870 until about 1880. He was later the headmaster of two state schools - Matarawa, near Wanganui from about 1880 to 1889 and Terrace End, in Palmerston North from 1889 to 1893.
Elizabeth von Blaramberg (under her maiden name of Elizabeth Mantel), was Assistant Mistress at the TAITA SCHOOL from about 1868 to 1870. She was also a teacher of music and art to private pupils at Matarawa. However she is best remembered as the Principal of the Carow Ladies College, also known as the Carow Girls Collegiate School, Palmerston North, which operated from 1891 until about 1901. This school was a large two-storey building in Carow Street providing accommodation for boarding pupils as well as serving as the von Blaramberg family residence.
Cecil assisted his wife at this school.
After the closure of the Carow Collegiate School and the sale of the Carow Street property (probably as a result of financial difficulties), Cecil and Elizabeth lived in a succession of small rented houses in Palmerston North.
They continued to operate a small school from each of these houses until about the time of World War One.
Cecil died on 27 Aug 1921 and is buried in the Old Gorge Cemetery in Woodville, next to a son, Regionald de Cortando who was born in NZ in 1871 and shot himself in the Club Hotel in Woodville in 1896 aged 25.
Manawatu Standard, 24 Aug 1921
A very old resident of Palmerston North, in the person of Cecil Augustus Victor Hotezzi de Cortando, Baron von Blaremberg, died to-day at his residence, 18 Amesbury street. Mr Blaramberg, as he was familiarly known, had resided in this country for 53 years and formerly conducted a private school. The late gentleman, who was 78 years of age, had been in indifferent health for many years and his death brought a happy release from long suffering. He leaves a widow and two surviving sons to mourn their loss

hi, my name is Rob. I am related to the Blarambergs, my mum was one. Cecil Augusta Victor was my grandfather, but I never knew him. He died 8 years after my mum was born. There is one surviving Blaramberg living, Cecil 'Ray' von Blaramberg, he just turned 95 last Sunday, living in Tauranga. I have just done the MyHeritage DNA. Cant find any results for Blaramberg

Hi ngairedith, There is a listing of cemeteries on Family Tree Circles linked to Find a Grave for a Waitakere Cemetery. The cemetery name is Waikumete Cemetery not Waitakere.http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=2166897&CScn=Waikumete&CScntry=85& The Waitakere entries belong under Waikumete Cemetery and Crematorium. Waitakere was the city name but this area is now part of Auckland City New Zealand. There never has been a cemetery called Waitakere Cemetery. The entries can be found here in the search site for Waikumete Cemetery and Crematorium.http://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/parksfacilities/cemeteries/Pages/westcemeterysearch.aspx If you look on the map on this page you will see that it is Waikumete Cemetery and Crematorium. So all those folk recorded on the Waitakere list should be on Waikumete. Hope this makes sense! Cheers, Ruth Snashall.
