Description

This is the story of a young lad from Kaikoura who joined the Navy in November 1907 and trevelled the world in his brief career.

When Australia established its own Navy in 1913 the lad transferred and volunteered for the Submarine Service. On September 14th 1914 while on patrol off German New Guinea the Submarine disappeared without a trace.
The young Lad from Kaikoura became the first New Zealander to die in the Great War.

The Submarine was eventually found a century later.
