• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY Henry Herbert Berkahn was born in 1898 in Waipawa. He volunteered to join the NZ Expeditionary force in June 1918 but did not begin training until 15 August 1918, by which time he had married Sarah Anderson. Their first child had been born soon after Henry enlisted for war service, in June 1918. Henry was demobilised in November 1918 when the war ended, without seeing active service. Henry was a butcher most of his married life according to electoral rolls. The family lived at Makotuku near Norsewood, and later Woodville. Three further children were born, but the youngest born in 1931 died two days after birth. Sarah died in 1953 and Henry in 1954. They were both buried in Norsewood.
