  • Notes 

    • WW1 SERVICE

      Joseph Andrew HUNT commenced duty on 24 Jul 1916 with the NZ Expeditionary Force. After training he departed for Europe on 15 Nov 1916 and arrived 29 Jan 1917. He saw service in France as a Private with the Canterbury Infantry Regiment of the NZ Expeditionary Force. On 27 Jul 1917 he was wounded in battle with a bullet hitting his arm and badly fracturing the ulna bone, but missing the radius bone. He had several other wounds as well, behind his shoulder, three wounds to the chest wall, a thigh wound, a calf wound, three large wounds near the hip and loin. He was evacuated to hospital in Brockenhurst, UK, and by the 10 August 1917 it was reported that Joseph was unable to extend his wrist but all his flesh wounds were healing and emphysema he had in France was gone with no fluid in his chest. It was recommended that because of the severity of the fracture of the ulna bone that Joseph be returned to New Zealand and discharged. On 21 Nov 1917 he embarked for NZ on the "Marama", arriving back in NZ on 30 Dec 1917. After a period of convalescence in Rotorua Convalescent Home Joseph was discharged from the Expeditionary Force on 26 Mar 1918.
