To L.A.H.
A New Zealand Soldier Buried in Sailly-sur-la-Lys

L. A. H., Lynn Atkinson Henderson, son of Mr. J. Henderson, Boiler Inspector, retired, was a fitter who served his time at Addington Railway Workshops, being later transferred to the Department's Drawing Office in Wellington. He went to Samoa with the Expeditionary Force in 1914, and later to Egypt, Gallipoli and France with the Fifth Reinforcement. He was killed in France.
