History Squire for Hire
I've paid my respects at Sai Wan where four New Zealanders are commemorated: S/Lt Daniel McAleese Royal NZ Naval Volunteer Reserve Cpt Beauchamp D'Epinay Barclay RAMC Cpt John Henry Fox Hong Kong & Singapore Royal Arty Pte John Entwhistle Ramsay Hong Kong Dockyard Defence Corps
Sai Wan War Cemetery, Hong Kong: terraced lawns, tropical shrubs and year‑round colour make it one of our most striking sites in East Asia. Our horticulture team blends formal planting with the local climate to keep it serene, green and beautifully cared for.
Never in all my born days have I seen anything more Australian than this

A lot of people over the last decade have said "the RSA has got to change, got to do this, got to do that" but Simon Strombom has done it! Have a look at facebook.com/NZRemembranceA… Change comes not with words but with actions. rnz.co.nz/national/progr…
The RSA’s been saying this for 25 years but younger veterans aren’t listening because the majority of them are getting on with building their post service lives as generations before them have done. Many veterans only came down to the RSA after retirement. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
Exciting! The author was a year behind me at high school and his older brother Stephen a year ahead — both fine historians as is their mum! Out in October from @AUP and you can pre-order it here aucklanduniversitypress.co.nz/chris-knox/ #nzmusic #music #NewBook
Look at you making The Oddity back home while you sleep! Cheers @LiamMcIlvanney
