Huntallyeardownhere said:Interesting thread. Had an uncle who served on HMNZS Achilles, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMNZS_Achilles_(70) from the start during the battle of the river Plate and on through the Pacific along side those ships of the USN. In addition family land was used as part of the training grounds for USMC troops while they staged here in New Zealand before going up to the hell that was the Pacific theater, it was a pleasure to let them have a small taste of home before their lives changed forever. Also have connection in that the land I currently work on was part of the training grounds for the troops who were camped near Auckland, again before embarking for battle, if anyone has a connection and wants current photos of sites they or their family may have a link to in the area surrounding Auckland please feel free to drop us a note and we will see what we can do for you.
