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.
