Meet the Devonport Peninsula's Military Men
Dave Veart presents a historical review of the military men of our area. He will canvas, with anecdotes and images…Sir William Drummond Jervois, the authority on coast defences…Lt-Col EM Tudor-Boddam who designed North Head and Fort Takapuna…Walter Frankham, site foreman for the Auckland forts in the late 1800s…Major Henry Peacock, commander of the Maori training Camp at Narrow Neck. Dave’s humorous and exuberant style of show will enlighten us on these men’s impacts on the Devonport Peninsula (and beyond).
