Where were you?
Gerry Wright is putting together another publication and would like to know where you were on the following dates –
Three keystone dates of the Navy in New Zealand are:
14 March 1921 – the New Zealand Naval Board was constituted, by Order in Council, for the overall direction and administration of the Navy. The Royal Navy, New Zealand Division.
1 October, 1941 – The Royal New Zealand Navy was established.
20 June, 1968 – The New Zealand white ensign was introduced. Where were you and, more importantly, how did you celebrate the hoisting of the new White Ensign on 20 June, 1968?
He would like to hear your story. All stories to Gerry Wright at gerrywright@xtra.co.nz or snail mail to 8 Rowan Rd, Epsom. Auckland 1023.
Ed. Now, I doubt there are many out there who can answer the first question but the second and third should be a cinch for a number of you. Give it a go.
