After his arrival from Scotland in 1909 and by the time he went to war in 1914, Corporal Andrew Frew lived and worked in the Hikurangi mines. He was killed at Gallipoli in 1915. His name appears on the memorial wall at Chunuk Bair and he is listed among the fallen at Auckland's War Memorial Museum. His obituary was published in the Northern Advocate and although his war record listed his home as Hikurangi there is no Corporal Andrew Frew on the fallen named on the World War 1 memorial headstone outside the Hikurangi Museum. His great nephew, Ron Smith, has researched and written his story. Link to this story. |
