? Philip Aaron PHILIPS, corner Queen and Shortland streets
- from The History of the Jews in New Zealand ... With the numbers in the community steadily growing larger, the appointment of a permanent minister and Shohet became imperative, and in 1864 the congregation elected the Rev. Moses Elkin, a very pious and zealous man who retained his powers of patience and persuasion in spite of the difficulties under which he laboured. After ten years' service in the community, he succeeded in persuading nearly all of the Jewish shopkeepers in Auckland to close their premises on the Sabbath. Philip Aaron Philips, the President of the congregation co-operated with him to achieve this triumph. As mayor of the city he persuaded his fellow councillors to change Auckland's market day from Saturday to Friday. It helped the Jews to attend the synagogue. Handicapped by a shortage of funds, Elkin bravely conducted both the Hebrew School and the Sabbath School ...

? Richard RIDINGS (1808-1868), Queen street
* 16 Oct 1868 An old and respected colonist has passed away. Richard Ridings, Esq. (for the last quarter of a century a leading man in Auckland society and commercial circles), expired at his residence, Symonds-street, after a somewhat protracted illness, yesterday morning. The deceased gentleman arrived in Auckland rather more thatn 25 years ago, and for some little time after his arrival entered the Government service in the post office department. Subsequently he entered into business with the late William Connell, Esq., the firm of Connell and Ridings maintaining the first position as auctioneers until the death of Mr Commell, when Mr Ridings retired from business and left Auckland on a visit to the mother country, from whence he returned after two years' absence, Mr Ridings - who was as much esteemed for his uprightness and integrity as a man of business as for his urbane and kindly disposition - held, till within a few weeks of his death, the office of a director in two of the local companies - the Bank of New Zealand and the New Zealand Insurance Company - in the formation of which institutions he had taken an active part, and in the management of which his voice carried no little weight. Both institutions were closed yesterday afternoon, as a tribute of respect to his memory. Nor was it as a business man alone that Mr Ridings won the esteem and respect of his fellow citizens. Those of his friends who had opportunities of seeing him in private life, will concur with us in saying that there are few, if any, amongst us who surpassed him in unostentatious acts of benevolence. No appeal, we believe, was ever made to him in vain on behalf of suffering humanity, and many are the sick beds and destitute homes that have been cheered by the instrumentality of himself and his amiable partner, who shared with him the luxury of doing good, and who will have now, in her time of trouble, the warmest sympathy of many firends. Mr Ridings was in the 61st year of his age.

Funeral on Tuesday, 22nd inst., at 1.30 p.m., at St Matthew's Church, Masterton. Friends please accept this intimation. No flowers.
* his OBITUARY - The death took place in the Masterton Hospital yesterday shortly after his admission the same day of the Rev. Charles Edward O'Hara Tobin, princiPAL of the Hikurangi Maori College, Carterton, at the age of 42 years. The deceased gentleman had only been ailing for the past week, and his ailment, while recoginised as very dangerous, was not expected to be so suddenly fatal.
Mr Tobin was trained at St John's College, Auckland, and ordained deacon in 1909 by the Right Rev. Dr. Wallis, Bishop of Wellington. The same year he was appointed curate of St. Mark's, Wellington, and in 1910 was ordained to the priesthood. Later, he was appointed vicar of Pongaroa, where he performed good service. On August 4, 1914, when war was declared, the late Mr Tobin volunteered for active service as a chaplain, and was probably the first minister in the Dominion, and certainly in the Wellington diocese, to do so. He served throughout the war with the N.Z.E.F., first in Egypt, Callipoli, and Malta, and later in France and England, where he was married. Mrs Tobin was a member of the Q.A.I.M.N.S.R., and saw service in the Mediterranea, Italy, and England. Upon his return to the Domionion, Mr Tobin was appointed principal of the Maori College at Clareville, which position he filled with marked success. His death will be regretted throught New Zealand. He was a splendid type of young clergyman, and his demise will be a distinct loss to the Church. To his sorrowing widow and infant son will be extended the sympathy of the whole district. Mr Tobin's parents reside at Tauranga. The funeral will leave St. Matthew's Church, Masterton, at 1.30 p.m. on Tuesday
* Charles was accorded a Military Funeral at Masterton and is buried Plot CET, Row 14, Area Plan II at Archer Street Cemetery
* Evening Post 7 July 1921 A motion was carried by the Diocesan Synod yesterday, placing on record the deep sense of loss sustained by the Anglican Church in the death of the Rev. C. E. O'Hara Tobin, and high appreciation of his work as assistant-curate at St Mark's , Wellington, Vicar of Rangiora, Chaplain to the N.Z.E.F., and Headmaster of Hikurangi College

* William Aitken, 71 Albany street, Dunedin, father

* served as #8/2524 with the 6th Reinforcements, Otago Infantry Battalion
in Gallipoli, Egypt, and France
* Alexander married Mary Winifred BETTS in 1920
* Alexander, FRSNZ FRSE FRS, was one of New Zealand's greatest mathematicians. He was educated at Otago Boys' High School in Dunedin (1908?13) and won the Thomas Baker Calculus Scholarship in his last year at school. He saw active service during World War I with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, at Gallipoli, in Egypt, and at the Western Front. He was wounded at the Somme. He graduated MA from the University of Otago in 1920, then worked as a schoolmaster at Otago Boys' High School from 1920-3. He studied for a PhD at the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland, where his dissertation, "Smoothing of Data", was considered so impressive that he was awarded a DSc in 1926. Alec's impact at the University had been so great that he had been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh the year before the award of his degree, upon the proposal of Sir Edmund Whittaker, Sir Charles Galton Darwin, Edward Copson and David Gibb. He was awarded the Makdougall-Brisbane Prize for 1930-2 and was very active in the affairs of the RSE, serving as Councillor (1934-6), Secretary to Ordinary Meetings (1936?40), and Vice-President (1948?51; 1956-9). He was also an active member of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society and a Fellow of the Faculty of Actuaries.
He spent his entire career at Edinburgh University, working as Lecturer in Actuarial Mathematics & Statistics (1925?36), Reader in Statistics (1936?46), and finally Professor of Mathematics (1946?65).
During World War II he worked in Hut 6 Bletchley Park decrypting ENIGMA code
He was one of the best mental calculators known and had a prodigious memory. He knew the first 1000 digits of pi, the 96 recurring digits of 1/97, and memorized the Aeneid at high school. Unfortunately, his inability to forget the horrors he witnessed in World War I led to recurrent depression throughout his life.
Alec was elected to the Royal Society of London in 1936 for his work in statistics, algebra and numerical analysis. He was an accomplished writer, being elected to the Royal Society of Literature in 1964 in response to the publication of his war memoirs. He was also an excellent musician, being described by Eric Fenby as the most accomplished amateur musician he had ever known and was a champion athlete in his younger days.
Through his collaboration with Herbert W. Turnbull on a book on canonical matrices (published in 1932), he acquired an Erdos number of 6.
Alec died on 3 November 1967, in Edinburgh aged 72
An annual "Aitken Prize" is awarded by the New Zealand Mathematical Society for the best student talk at their colloquium. The prize was inaugurated in 1995 at the University of Otago's Aitken Centenary Conference, a joint mathematics and statistics conference held to remember Aitken a hundred years after his birth.

Australia's bravest Digger could be found in mass grave in France
... A forgotten document that describes the fate of hundreds of Diggers massacred at Bullecourt has helped identify the location of more mass graves in France and researchers want government help to conduct ground radar searches of two sites

More fallen diggers found at Bullecourt
... They were buried where they lay. Not in mass graves prepared by the Germans, but in haste, by fellow diggers who pushed dirt in on top of the crater where their dead companions had been taking shelter, and then fled. And there they are believed to remain, up to 13 Australian soldiers, interred in a nameless pit beneath a road in northern France

Scarred ground still gives up its secrets
... "Each year the plough blades bring to the surface unexploded shells, scrap metal, the bones of lost soldiers"

The inscription on a memorial marker at Bullecourt reads:
"To the glory of God and in the memory of 2423 officers and other ranks serving the Australian Imperial Forces who fell in these fields and have no known grave,
April - May 1917, RIP".

- Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, Belgium
* 5' 6?", medium complexion, hazel eyes, black hair
* was admitted to 1st Canadian General Hospital suffering from gunshot wound to his arm on 19 Sep 1916
* in March 1920 brother Percy wrote that both parents were now deceased (mother Eleanor died June 1919)
* eye witness account:
... I knew casualty, he was 5ft 6ins, dark, medium build, 28 years of age, known as Harold. He was a 1st Rfcts. and was batman to Lieut. Baker. Casualty was a Co. runner and was taking a despatch to Co. H.Q. at Daisy Wood, Ypres, and whilst outside Battalion Headquarters a shell landed killing him instantly. I saw his body lying there outside the door of the dug-out. He was carried back by battalion Pioneers to Battalion Burial Grounds at Bellwarde Ridge, Ypres
* in Sep 1922 they wrote to his brother Percy c/o South Gippsland Butter Factory Company, Yarram, that for some time past an exhaustive search had been made over the battle areas in view of recovering the remains but that, unfortunately, the Graves Services failed to locate his resting place
* in July 1924 the authorities wrote to ex L/Cpl 1524, Harold George Gallagher of the 24th saying they had found his ground sheet & some religious emblems with an unnamed soldier and asked if he could shed light on this. On 9 Aug 1923 Harold wrote "Your letter of the 20th July to hand in reference to the late Pte Harold Ray, 1526, of 24th Batt. I might state that he was my pal, we went right through together until the 8th of Oct 1917. In reference to the ground sheet I can safely say that it was mine as I was attached to the Headquarters Lewis Gun Section in 1916 and a part of 1917. I did have my name on it. Well, Pte. Ray was killed on the afternoon of the 8th of Oct. Both he and I with several others went into a pill box to cook some dinner when a shell burst right in the doorway killing Pte Ray and wounding two others. This happened while we were in close supports ready to go over the top at Daisy Wood in the morning. I carried Pte Ray out of the pill box and covered him with my ground sheet. He was buried the next day by Cpl Davis of the 24th Batt. at Zonnebeke about 300 yards from lane near Kay Farm. I might state that Pte Ray was not of the Roman Catholic faith. I can account for those religious emblems found on him. While we were in Egypt we went out to see Mary's Well, also the fig tree alongside the well. Just before you get to them there is a little church, we went inside and while inside they sold us some religious emblems of the Roman Church. I remember Pte Ray saying to me that he would keep them for luck. I might state that there were three of us bought these emblems, the other being L/Cpl Greenwell of the 24th Batt. He could also account for those emblems being on the late Pte Ray". Five months later, Jan 1924, they replied that the unknown Australian soldier was found in the vicinity of Courcellette, 60 miles distance, but they believed this soldier was buried in the Autumn of 1916, and so it was impossible that he was Pte Ray (although this was an extraordinary coincidence) and asked whether he had another ground sheet in which the unnamed soldier was found'

* The 24th Battalion was raised in a hurry. The original intent was to raise the fourth battalion of the 6th Brigade from the ?outer states?, but a surplus of recruits at Broadmeadows Camp in Victoria lead to a decision being made to raise it there. The battalion was formed during the first week of May 1915, and sailed from Melbourne at the end of that week. Training shortfalls were made up in Egypt in July and August, and on 4 September 1915 the Battalion went ashore at Gallipoli. It spent the next 16 weeks sharing duty in the Lone Pine trenches with the 23rd Battalion. The fighting at Lone Pine was so dangerous and exhausting that battalions rotated every day. While the bulk of the battalion was at Gallipoli, a small party of 52, trained as packhorse handlers, served with the British force in Salonika. The Battalion was reunited in Egypt in early 1916 and proceeded to France in March. It took part in its first major offensive around Pozi?res and Mouquet Farm in July and August 1916. The Battalion got little rest during the bleak winter of 1916-17 alternating between the front and labouring tasks. When patrolling no-man?s land the men of the 24th adopted a unique form of snow camouflage - large white nighties bought in Amiens
