Corporal C. T. Munro, who was awarded the Military Medal for bravery, is well known in the Otago district. He was a prominent member or the old Dunedin Naval Artillery, and founder of the Winton Rifles. He served as Sergeant-Major with the 7th New Zealand Contingent in the Boer war, returning for a commission, but hostilities had ceased in the meantime. It is recorded that he fired the first shot in the big fight at Bothasburg, where the 7th Contingent were badly cut up. When several of his old comrades of the 7th (Lieutenant-Colonel Bauchop and others) were killed at Gallipoli, Corporal Munro felt the call once more, and, in spite of his being -a married man with five children, enlisted for service, and went into camp in January, 1916, with the 14th Reinforcement. He was known as "Tiny" by his platoon mates, being a very popular and at the same time efficient “non-com.” He was wounded in the German offensive in May last, but has recovered, and has been back, in the firing-line for several months. Acting-Sergeant H. A. Munro, of the Main Body, is a brother. -NZ Times, 15/2/1919.
Advice has just been received that Corporal C. T. Munro, M.M., will arrive with the H.M.S. Kia Ora, after three years on active service. Corporal Munro was for many years a member of the Dunedin Naval Volunteer Company, and also of the Winton Rifles, from which company he went to South Africa with the 7th Contingent, returning again on June 28, 1902. He still continued his interest in soldiering and enlisted with the 14th Reinforcements, being attached to the Otago Infantry. He was wounded on April 16, 1918, but was able after recovery to take his place in the firing line until the. signing of the armistice. In the last engagement at Le Quesnoy, he was awarded the Military Medal. -Otago Daily Times, 28/4/1919.
