Stewart Edmond Calder, who was born in Dunedin in November 1892, enlisted in the New Zealand Forces in October 1914, originally
joining the 2nd Otago Infantry, and was embarked for Egypt at the end of the year, following which he was attached to No. 3
Company, Divisional Train, as a Driver, and witnessed active service in Gallipoli. Afterwards joining the strength of H.Q. Transport, in
the Egyptian Expeditionary Force, he was re-embarked for France in April 1916, where he was severely wounded by a gunshot in the
right side at Passchendaele on 15 October 1917, and evacuated to the U.K. via Australian and Canadian Casualty Clearance Stations.
This appears to have marked the end of his active service and he was discharged back in New Zealand in April 1919, although in his

appointments until released in May 1944; sold with copied service record.

George Herbert Jeffreys was born in London in December 1886 and entered the Royal Navy as a Boy 2nd Class in January 1903. A
Leading Seaman serving in the battleship H.M.S. Agamemnon at the outbreak of hostilities in August 1914, he removed to the
Cornwallis before the year’s end, in which battleship he served until November 1915, encompassing her commission in the
Dardanelles and most probably his ‘Service in Land Operations’, as per an official endorsement on his service record. Back in the U.K.,
he was advanced to Petty Officer in March 1916, prior to joining the Royal Oak, in which ship he was present at Jutland. Coming
ashore in late 1917, his final wartime appointment was in the tender Medusa at Queenstown from January 1918 until the War’s end,
and he was invalided from the service in consequence of ‘compound hypermetropia astigmation’ in June 1919; sold with copied
