1 WORLD WAR TWO ( ) SERVICE PERSONNEL The Military Roll of Honour plaque in front of the Upper Hutt City Council building on Fergusson Drive Upper Hutt records the names of 17 World War One and 24 World War Two service personnel from the Upper Hutt district. HVUH WAR WWII Upper Hutt Personnel compiled by Lynly Lessels Yates New Zealand updated 15 August

2 WORLD WAR TWO SERVICE PERSONNEL ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER HUTT The plaque was the foundation stone for the list of World War Two Personnel associated with the Upper Hutt district. Other sources used were National Library of New Zealand, Papers past website, World War One Nominal Rolls, Commonwealth War Grave website, New Zealand Defence Force Archives, Archives New Zealand, Ancestry website plus various other resources and publications. I also hope to research the Returned Association Upper Hutt Branch early membership rolls for additional names and details. This World War Two Personnel roll consists of [1] names from the plaque typed in blue [2] names of those who appear on the Commonwealth War graves website typed in red and [3] the remainder typed in black are the Personnel who were discharged after service. This document is a work in progress and will take many years of research and may never be completely finished but it is a beginning. Evening Post newspaper 21 January 1942 Territorial Call Up Total of 27,104 Wellington Area Quota 4112 A Gazette published yesterday contains the names of 27,104 men who have been called up for Territorial service. They comprise all the men in the first division of the General Reserve and four classes of the second division. Those in the first division are chiefly youths who have reached the age of 18 since the last list was issued and those in the second division comprise all married men without children from 18 to 45 years of age. The Gazette contains the note that the list includes the names of a number of men who have volunteered for service overseas and of some who are already serving in Home Defence units.

When applying for enlistment in the Royal New Zealand Air Force non the 15th May 1941 he was employed by the Army Ordnance Depot at Trentham. Flight Sergeant Good was enlisted at New Plymouth on the 11th July 1942 and employed there on aerodrome Defence Duties until re-mustered to aircrew and posted to the Initial Training Wing Rotorua on the 2nd January He afterwards embarked for Canada on the 5th May to train under the Empire Air Training Scheme. Shortly after arrival there he was posted on the 23rd May to No 5 Booming and Gunnery School Dafoe Saskatchewan and then on the 22nd August to No 1 Central Navigation School Rivers Manitoba. Here on the 1st October he was awarded the Air Bomber Badge and promoted to the rank of Sergeant. While in the United Kingdom on the 1st April he was further promoted to No 1 Y Depot Halifax Nova Scotia for embarkation to the United Kingdom. Flight Sergeant Good arrived at No 12 R.Z.N.A.F. Personnel Despatch and Reception Centre Brighton on the 30th October and remained there until posted on the 18th January 1944 to No 9 (0) Advanced Flying Unit Westcott Buckinghamshire early in March for crewing up and completion of his training as Air Bomber of Wellington bomber aircraft. On the 10th August he was posted to No 5 Personnel Despatch Centre Blackpool for embarkation overseas to North West Africa and arrived there later the same month. Early in September he was posted to No 142 Squadron and commenced operations flying on Wellington Bomber aircrew. Flight Sergeant Good was a member of the crew of a Wellington bomber aircraft engaged during the night of the 17-18th September 1944 in an attack on Brescia Marshalling Yards Italy. The aircraft failed to return to its base and all the crew including Flight Sergeant Good were classified as missing. In due course his death was officially presumed to have occurred on the 17th September A post war casualty search revealed that the aircraft had crashed on the Bank of the River Po and that two identified and two unidentified members of the crew were buried in the Padua British Empire Cemetery. The body of Flight Sergeant Good was not identified and his name will be commemorated on a suitable memorial to the missing. reference New Zealand Defence Force Archive GREEN Eric J Trentham - Evening Post newspaper 21 January 1942 GRIFFIN Albert H W Bristol Street Trentham - Evening Post newspaper 21 January 1942 GUPPY John M Ararino Road Trentham - Evening Post newspaper 21 January 1942 #New Zealand Roll of Honour In Memoriam Halkett Pilot Officer Charles de Vic beloved son of Alice J Canning Upper Hutt missing believed killed Wembercourt Frances 09 September 1940 reference Papers past website Evening Post newspaper 09 September 1942 page 1 #Joseph HARTLEY NZ Flight Sergeant Royal New Zealand Air Force age 30 died 29 August 1945 grave panel 6 Bourail memorial New Caledonia son of Joseph and Emma Hartley husband of Margaret Hartley of Upper Hutt Wellington New Zealand reference Commonwealth War Graves website #Joseph HARTLEY died reference RGO NZ WWII death registration 1945 folio website 1945/63709 age 30 born about 1915 #Roll of Honour Air Force Casualties Missing believed killed HARTLEY Joseph Flight Sergeant Mrs M M F Hartley HVUH WAR WWII Upper Hutt Personnel compiled by Lynly Lessels Yates New Zealand updated 15 August
