From Graham Duley:
The story begins with two brothers who emigrated from Denmark, but at different times.  For reasons not completely clear their surnames became recorded differently in New Zealand. 

The first to arrive was Niels Peter Eriksen.  His surname was recorded the same as it had been in Denmark.  He later was a member of the Napier Harbour Board and Eriksen Road behind the Te Awa Golf Course was named after him.  Niels Peter was the father of Hans Christian Eriksen – who was known to all as Chris.

The other brother was Didrik.  In Denmark his surname was spelt the same as his brother Niels Peter.  However, over time after his arrival in New Zealand, official record keepers added a ‘c’ to the Eriksen surname, and Didrik’s family thus ever since became ‘Ericksen’.  Didrik’s eldest son was killed in WW1 and his name is also on your Roll of Honour.  He was Eric Axel Carl Johannes Ericksen (who is buried in Haringhe Military Cemetery, Popringe, Belgium).   Thus Eric was, despite the surname spelling difference, a first cousin of Chris. Duplicat: E Eriksen.

It's a torn scrap of paper
Sent home from the front
From a single NAPIER laddie
Who has faced the battles brunt.
It will say my heart is with you
In the land across the foam
And wish that I were with you
In the dear old home.
So Mother don't be sighing,
My duty I must do
And although the sea divides us
I will always think of you.
At night besides our campfire
When seated all alone,
I wonder what your reading
In the dear old home.

McGee, Frank Nelson Lance Corporal      Enlistment address Vigor Brown Street, Napier - NZ Railways Napier Branch Chairperson, Napier St John Ambulance Corps Officer. (from the Railway Review, 31 May 1918, p279)  'The Supreme Sacrifice'
Since writing the above notes, we have received the sad tidings that Mr F. N. McGee, fitter, of the local shops, had paid the supreme sacrifice, being killed in action on May 2nd. Mr McGee enlisted and went to the Front with the 5th Reinforcements. Prior to enlisting he took a very keen interest in all local social matters. He was a past-Chairman of the Napier Branch, Secretary of the Railway Library, and a prominent member of St. John Ambulance; in fact, he was always to the front in anything that would assist his fellow-workers in the struggle for existence. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his mother and father, who have lost a son any parents might be proud of. The railway men have lost a good comrade and friend, the Railway Department a very efficient officer. '

F. N. McGee, who paid the supreme sacrifice in France some months ago, left with the 5th Reinforcements, and saw a considerable amount of fighting. Prior to going to the Front, he was a very active member of the A.S.R.S., joining the Petone Branch in March, 1908. From Petone to Cross Creek he occupied the vice-chair of that Branch. He was then transferred to Napier. The Napier Branch recognised Mr McGee’s ability, and elected him as Chairman, in which position he proved that their confidence was not misplaced. Frank took a very keen interest in ambulance work and life-saving, and will be remembered by many for his numerous kinds actions, his great desire being at all times to leave the world the better for having lived in it.

Mann, Sydney John  Sergeant Medaille d'Honneur avec Glaives en Bronze Discharged to 5 Selwyn Road, Napier as a Motor Mechanic.
According to his family Sydney J Mann was an ambulance driver. “Sydney John Mann who was my mother's father, he was a private and indeed drove an ambulance in the NZ Expeditionary Force in WWI and was a sergeant in the home guard at Napier during the second war. I understand he returned from the first war late having served in France and Belgium for the War Graves Commission and hence the citation from the French Government. On his return his demob photograph oddly has him in full uniform but holding a large vase - reputedly because he could not stop his hands from shaking - he never discussed his experiences while away and died in 1951.” (family correspondence)

Mann, Sydney John  Sergeant Medaille d'Honneur avec Glaives en Bronze Discharged to 5 Selwyn Road, Napier as a Motor Mechanic.
According to his family Sydney J Mann was an ambulance driver. “Sydney John Mann who was my mother's father, he was a private and indeed drove an ambulance in the NZ Expeditionary Force in WWI and was a sergeant in the home guard at Napier during the second war. I understand he returned from the first war late having served in France and Belgium for the War Graves Commission and hence the citation from the French Government. On his return his demob photograph oddly has him in full uniform but holding a large vase - reputedly because he could not stop his hands from shaking - he never discussed his experiences while away and died in 1951.” (family correspondence)
