Comer  Board
Comer was a farmer near Hangatiki in the Waitomo area.He had a passion for Horses as did his younger brothers. One photo shows Comer on horseback with 4 others, It is thought this was his Polocrosse Team. According to the Auckland Star Newspaper Comer enlisted on 1st of May 1916 at the Queen Street recruiting center. Comer was wounded 28th Feb 1917 and re-joined his unit by 31st March. Lance Corporal Comer Board was reported missing 9th June1917. Records show he was killed in action on 7th June the day of Battle for Messines began. His regiment the 1/Auckland NZEF was involved in the attack on Hill 63 on the day. The family believe that because Comer was well over 6ft tall he may have been an easy target as he was shot in the trenches. It is also possible that he died in a counter attack launched by German Artillery.
Arthur  Board
Arthur left New Zealand as part of NZ Rifle Brigade for the battlefields of France in February 1916, He transferred to X Battery New Zealand Field Artillery in August 1916 as a Gunner The Auckland Star Newspaper reported his death as November 1916 It would seem Arthur was Killed in an mortar explosion with 2 other soldiers near Armentières France 26th November. The gunners fired 3 shells with no problems, the fourth burst after leaving the Mortar. The Court of Inquiry into the Death of Arthur Board states: " From the evidence available there is nothing to show it was anyone's fault. The court considers that the accident could only be due to some defect in the ammunition"
