Most of the South African War service records for soldiers in this database have now been digitised and are available by searching the Archives New Zealand Archway website.
Thomas Adam Christie was my maternal grandfather. He died in his 70s. I remember him as a quiet, kind and clever man who was very clever with his hands. He made wonderful wooden toys in his cellar workshop in Timaru. I regret that he did not live longer so that I, then a small boy, could have got to know him better.
