The Bishop of Wellington held a most impressive Continuation service at Bunnythorpe on Sunday morning, a large number of candidates coming forward for Continuation. During the afternoon a number of local people journeyed to Ashhurst to witness the unveiling of a Memorial Brass in the Ashhurst Church, to the memory of the late Alan Greenhow, who was killed in the Great War. -Manawatu Times, 12/6/1928.
Alan Greenhow's Regiment, the Canterbury Infantry, went into the hell that was the French town of Bapaume. The German Army made their stand there, trying to keep the Allies from invading their homeland. The Canterburys lost 77 men killed at Bapaume, including Alan Greenhow.
