Comment from Paul Evans:
"In the 1950's I was lucky enough to know two members of the 28th Battalion - Lt.Col. Humphrey Dyer who was one of my teachers at Whangarei Boys High School, and Charlie 'YM' Bennett, MBE, who was United Maori Mission Hostel manager at Whangarei. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of these men - only very fond memories of two great men who were proud to have served in the 28th."
