Seeking Family of H R Bower

Denise from Marewa

UPDATE: Roy has a granddaughter living in Napier. A headstone has been ordered and there will be a public unveiling. I'll put up a post when we have a date and time.

We are seeking the family of Harry Roy BOWER 6/4588.

Harry is a veteran of WW1 who won the Military Medal but lies in an unmarked grave at Napier's Park Island cemetery.

He married and had a daughter who died in 2019. She may have had children or there may be descendants of his sisters.

We'd like to get him a headstone, at no cost to the family, but we need to check they have no objection.

Any family can message NZ Remembrance Army Facebook page please or me if you don't have Facebook.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
