Amongst the men listed on this memorial to have served in WW1 from Wimbledon is R J Holms not R Holmes. Robert Holms later died from the effects of gas poisoning in 1929 received on the western front while serving with the Wellingtons.

We might also add that the R J Holms listed here as R Holmes was married to Gertrude Holms (nee Herbert), a prominent name on this memorial as well as in this Central Hawkes Bay district.
