      Found an article in the newspaper "The Southland Times, written by Kenneth James Wilkie Hargest, telling about the military career of his Father, his Mother's nursing years and that after 2 brothers were killed in wars, he remained on the Family Farm
      I could not find a date on this article re Southland Times, so have chosen not to recopy here - for coypright reasons. Kenneth mentions his happy times of being married and raising 4 wonderful children as well hw 2019
