My great uncle, Arthur Young, was a veteran of the Boer War and Gallipoli. He died in 1968 and I remember as a kid hearing him talk about NZ back when he was a kid. He had one of those large gramophone type horns for a hearing aid and would say, "speak up sonny, I can't hear ya".
He never mentioned anything about those two wars except on one occasion when he said that if they ever saw a Boer soldier, which was seldom, they would shoot above his head.
