Horiana was my grandfather and I am trying to gather information about him, especially information or stories concerning his time in the army. If anyone has any further information could you please email me. Arohanui, Lysandra

Kia ora, I am the daughter of Walter RUPAPERA who is the son of Horiana Rupapera, my papa. In the information box it states that Papa Horiana was single, when in fact he had a wife, my nana, Isabell Rupapera. I'm glad I got to find out a bit more info about my papa though as I never met him. My father does however have a photo of Isabell.

Kia ora, thank you. The information has been added as a note on the page. However, the enlistment information has not been altered as this is historical reference information taken from the nominal roll. And corresponds with other records such as your father's personnel file.

Kia ora Walter. I have amended your father's rank. Apologies for the delay, I was waiting for information from the NZDF.
