Seeking Family of H R Bower
UPDATE: Roy has a granddaughter living in Napier. A headstone has been ordered and there will be a public unveiling. I'll put up a post when we have a date and time.
We are seeking the family of Harry Roy BOWER 6/4588.
Harry is a veteran of WW1 who won the Military Medal but lies in an unmarked grave at Napier's Park Island cemetery.
He married and had a daughter who died in 2019. She may have had children or there may be descendants of his sisters.
We'd like to get him a headstone, at no cost to the family, but we need to check they have no objection.
Any family can message NZ Remembrance Army Facebook page please or me if you don't have Facebook.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
